These are great questions, Yu. Now you need to begin to do research so you can try to answer them using a variety of sources.
返信削除Remember that by the end of the semester you and Miyako must answer the 30 research questions that you created in your blog using the most authoritative websites and other sources that you can find. For each question, you will need to cite, at least, two different sources (in APA style using citationmachine.net ) in order to make sure the information is reliable.
In the blog posting in which you attempt to answer a research question, be sure to contextualize the posting by explaining what the question is you are answering, what your sources were, why you feel you can trust those sources, and tell us what you learned from your sources IN YOUR OWN WORDS through paraphrasing. Do not just copy and paste. Each entry in which you answer a research question should be no shorter than 200 words. Here’s is an example of how to answer a research question on your blog:
“Besides whaling, in what other ways are whales threatened?”
