To begin our Collaborative Research project, Madeline, Paula, Taylor, and I discussed the many riveting details of the movie Food Inc. We discussed the key points that led us to want to know more. The one resounding topic that entered all of our minds was the use of ammonia in meat filler. None of us were aware of the fact that not only was ammonia used, but what the underlying health risks would be. Based on our current knowledge, ammonia was a highly potent and gaseous cleaning product. As a group, we decided to each set out and do some independent research and form ideas on how we should approach the project.
The following week we met and had learned many new things. First, we were made of the fact that ammonia is actually produced in the body and within the environment. The controversy arises as to how much ammonia is deemed safe within the human body. At the same time, we were able to devise a plan as to the elements we felt were important to our Collaborative Research Paper. We felt it was key to bring awareness to consumers as well as present the factual information about ammonia and its varying uses.
At this point, we each took a section of paper that we would like to investigate and to report our findings. In order to effectively collaborate, we set up a Google Doc. This technological tool affords us the opportunity to not only write our own sections, but to help each other through the editing process. We were also able to collaborate in effectively making the paper cohesive and have a natural, appealing flow and presentation.
While in the process of forming our written piece, we were able to add other forms of genres to help enhance our piece. The idea of adding a video clip as well as conducting our own survey came to light. We all agreed this would add a nice touch to our Research paper.
The polished product is in its final stages…the finished product is yet to come!
