What was the process you used to investigate the topic and how did you verify and cite the information you found?
So I started by lightly researching my element and thinking of some inquiry and wonder questions I could ask. Then I came up with my questions and put them into my Sway. I put all of the sources I used into Citation Machine, and added them at the end of my Sway. I accurately sourced all of the websites I used using Citation Machine.
How did the process of completing this challenge go? What could you have done better?
I thought the process of completing this Elemental InfoFluency Sway went well and smoothly. I did have some design issues at the end, but I quickly figured those out. I could have thought out my Sway a bit better and added more visual elements to it, or added some more information in my inquiry questions, but other than that, I thought it was good.
