Coggle cluster of my controversy
In my cluster, I began with Common Core in the center, which is my controversy, and extended outwards, with the groups that are most involved in the subject matter. I then included information on how they speak publicly about the matter, usually using a type of media, while also including their opinions and ideologies. One the right side, I mainly included the groups that are actively involved in the education field, whether it is their career or not. On the left side, the group is primarily composed of politicians.
Overall, I found this exercise to be tremendously helpful, as I compiled my research and my findings into one simple organizer. I will be able to refer to this easily and quickly later on in this project.

REFLECTION: After looking at other clusters, I have a few things to say about my own. My classmate Rachel and I used the same program, which was Coggle, to compile our cluster. I appreciated her brevity with every thought that she had; it made it look organized yet simple. I probably should have condensed my ideas into phrases more than sentences, because this organizer is for me to look at and refer to.
I also looked at Lauren's cluster, and hers was equally as brief and to the point as Rachel's was. She This makes me question if I needed to include that much information in my cluster. Lauren also separated her chart into four main groups of people that were involved in her controversy, which made it easy to read and look at. Overall, this beneficial tool is a great starting point while writing a QRG, and I think each of my classmates would agree to that.
I really enjoyed how informative your cluster is. It's extremely easy to find the main ideas as well as the supporting details that create the controversy. I also used Coggle and I really liked how you were able to move the different "stems" around so that they were very organized. Overall, I think this is going to be an excellent resource to look at in the future!
ReplyDeleteLike you, I also used Coggle to create my cluster. However, yours is much more detailed than mine! Your map is very clear and organized and will be useful in the future when trying to organize or locate specific information.
ReplyDeleteYour flowchart is extremely detailed and I am not sure if it could've used with a little bit less but it did get a lot of information out there. I liked the aesthetics of your flow chart and how easily you could delineate the different groups involved with your controversy.
ReplyDeleteI too used Coggle, I really liked how easy to use it was. Your cluster is most definitely the most detailed I've seen! I like how informative you made it. Everything is very organized and easily understood. It will be a great tool for you in writing the QRG.
