Class 12: Note Taking & Discussing Research 

Summary: While giving feedback, in pairs, you discussed your research, while your pair asked questions and comments using my original Ii Ii Ii feedback system:

Interesting! Why? 

I want to know more, because.....

I don't understand. Could you run this by me once more?

I also gave individual suggestions to you on how you might narrow down your focus. Following the discussions, I explained how you could narrow down your research focus even further in preparation for your homework due on the 8th.
