I know for sure that we are going to Pebble Beach for golf. I think that I will focus my attention on just this one area of CA. I hope that we will make it to other parts of the state. It is so difficult for this assignment to get it all covered.
For this portion of wiggling, I will think about my resources. What resources do I want to use? How will I evaluate them? I think that it is important to consider the source. Is it posted by a notable person? Is the information accurate and current?
As I search for information about the topics on my chart, I will take note of the topics that do not need to be searched at this time. I will update my bubble chart so that it better fits my search needs.
I have been searching various websites and studying maps. There is so much information out there. It is really overwhelming! I plan to continue to using my resources and gathering information.
I think that this stage compares with the ‘Challenging’ stage of the REACTS---A Taxonomy for Thoughtful Research developed by Stripling and Pitts. According to Callison, this stage is described as, “Evaluating and deliberating: judging information on the basis of authority, significance, bias, and other factors” (Callison, 44).
I think the idea of narrowing it down to the Pebble Beach area is a fantastic idea. California is a very large state and too much to cover for the project and a vacation! It is important to enjoy the area you visit. So often I think people try to cram so much into a vacation, they don't really get to see any one spot for what it really has to offer.
