How was this different from how you have searched for information in the past? Explain how using specific search strategies and evaluating sources impacted the quality of what you found.

They are trying to get the audience to understand the realistic image that's happening in the world without actually saying it.

Reflection: I am going to do very good on the assignment next week.

Think about how you have searched for information in the past compared to what you practiced today. How is creating specific search phrases different from just “Googling” a topic? Explain how this strategy will improve the quality of your research.

Summary: Today we did a Common Lit. Reflection: I am all caught up with my assignments.
