My sway:

1. List your 4-5 sub questions you tried to answer in order to research your topic?

• What type of resources do bees provide to humans?
• What human activities benefit bees?
• What types of jobs do humans need to do in order to help sustain bees?
• What is capitalist agriculture?
• Do bees help humans medically?

2. What new or familiar digital tools did you try to use as you worked through this project?

• Pexels
• Gale
• Gale: Topic Finder
• Creative Commons
• Google
• Citation Generator: Free MLA Citation Generator | Verified by Experts | Scribbr

3. How did you verify and cite the information you found and show your research in a works cited?

• I used a certified MLA citation generator to site all my sources. This citation generator is verified by experts and is a reliable source as I have used it in multiple classes. As for the other websites, I mainly used Gale as it is recommended by our school to use to it. I found it quite informative and educational. I struggled with it at the start as I put in my entire sub question but quickly learned that all Gale Searches only require a key word. In the destiny discoverer I also used Topic Finder. I also found Topic Finder easy to understand and used its information in one my slides. For websites I found on google, I made the website/article had the author’s name and all of its resources sited. I have learned that if a website sites where they got their information from it is always a positive sign. For my pictures, I used pexels and creative commons provided by sway. Both of them are good websites to get your pictures from. It was recommended for me to use it by several teachers. All my sources are reliable and I have made sure to double check the information with other websites if I wasn’t sure about the statistics or some of the information.

4. How did the process of completing this challenge go? What could you have done better?

• I enjoyed doing this assignment as it allowed me to explore a new topic I wasn’t familiar with. I learnt a lot about bees and the process of beekeeping. Overall, I think I did okay on my assignment. I feel like there is always room for improvement and my assignment definitely has some things I would like to fix if I had more time. Some things I want to keep in mind for my next assignment are not overthinking and over doing things. For the initial stage of this assignment we were given a brainstorming sheet. I spent a lot of time on that sheet and put a lot of thought in the planning sheet. I think I would have saved so much time if I didn’t fill up so much information on the sheet. I am also a procrastinator. I need to fix that habit because at some point in life, I won’t be able to do my assignments last minute. For my future projects, I want to plan a timeline which I can strictly follow in order to efficiently finish my work.
