Entry #3 (Con't). 1. Sit in your assigned groups of 4. 2 Entry #3 (Con't) 1. Sit in your assigned groups of 4. 2. Each group should take one computer from the cabinet. The time for the first Task will begin as soon as the bell rings, and all phones should be put away at this time until further notice. As groups, you will be sharing your findings related to the Hidden Figures homework assignment. Each member of the group should record these activities in your notebooks. If you have not submitted your assignment to Google Classroom (for any reason), or only partially submitted it please be advised: “All students who knowingly attempt to pass incomplete work as completed is setting themselves up for failure.”

LOR Quiz 1 Review and Reflection Task A (10 minutes) LOR Quiz 1 Review and Reflection Turn to your LOR Quiz in your notebooks With the laptop, locate the Exemplar Entries for the LOR Quiz 1 Compare the exemplar to what you answered for each question Goals: Question 1 – Identify thesis (shortest response) Question 2 – Explain the author’s use of information to develop an LOR, using evidence (longest response) Question 3 – Discuss Credibility of source, using evidence (RAVEN)

Lenses With your group, discuss and record the following items in the format of a lense diagram: 1. Define each lens. What value does it have as an observational tool? 2. On your lens map explain how each one relates to Hidden Figures. You may use the group's computer to look back at the clips/research if needed. Cultural and social Artistic and philosophical Political and historical Environmental Economic Scientific Futuristic Ethical

Task B (15 Minutes): Hidden Figures Group Analysis 1. Each group member will share his/her findings related to the Hidden Figures. Remember, the assignment was not simply to summarize the history of these women. The goal was to analyze their unique place in history. 2. Given your group's research, synthesize your information into a single, provable claim/statement regarding the Hidden Figures. 3. Provide two pieces of evidence from at least two different sources in support your group claim. 4. Each group member should draw a lens map. Use each lens to interpret the perspective of the Hidden Figures as it relates to your claim. 5. Type your final information into a document on google docs and share with your group members. This may serve as an artifact in the future.

R.A.V.E.N. Next Journal Entry: One of the essential skills of a Capstone Scholar will be to discern between legitimate sources of information and disreputable ones. One such method for determining the legitimacy of information is known as R.A.V.E.N. By applying this technique to your research sources, you will be able to utilize credible information while preventing shady, sketch, unreliable, fake, BS garbage conjecture from poisoning your Lines of Reasoning.

The Parts of a R.A.V.E.N. Reputation: What do you know about the reputation of the author, the sources, and the publication? Do past actions or lies indicate the author, sources, or publication may not be reliable? Is the author, source, or publication in a position of authority? Ability to Observe: Is the author in a position that allows access to reliable evidence? If the article is about an event, did the author actually observe the event? Does the author have the ability to readily access relevant resources? Vested Interest: Does the author have a personal stake in the topic or event? Would the author gain anything by being deceitful? Would the author gain anything by telling the truth? Expertise: Does the author have specialized knowledge on the topic or event? Does the evidence come from a source that has expertise on the topic or event? ​Neutrality: Does the author attempt to maintain neutrality about the issue, or is bias clearly evident? Is the source of the evidence attempt to maintain neutrality, or is bias clearly present?

Capstone never assumes... Yes,RAVEN is also a Verb! The act of "RaVeN-ing" means to use each of a RAVEN's parts to determine a source of information's reliability. You need reliable sources to build a legitimate Line of Reasoning. You must NEVER assume a source's reliability. If your sources aren't reliable, then you should not expect to use them as evidence/proof for ANYTHING.** Capstone never assumes... ***The exception to this general truth is a case where you explicitly use a biased or unreliable source because it is such. For example, if you are arguing that Russian intervention in the US elections warrants greater government censorship over media outlets, then you might utilize articles from biased news organizations that spread fake news in order to feed the confirmational biases of targeted consumer audiences.

Entry #4: RAVENING Task A (10 min): Using the blank RAVEN sheet, your group is to check the reliability of this source of information. When finished, make a specific statement as to its reliability. Refer to your RAVEN as proof of your claim. Task B (10 min): As a group, develop a Compelling Question (CQ)*** related to the Space Race. Submit your CQ to Google Classroom. Each group member should do a submission (same question). Each member of the group should contribute to answering the CQ by researching 1 source of information that provides information reliable in regard to it. HOMEWORK: Complete a RAVEN in a Google Doc and submit it to Google Classroom before next class. Compelling questions are researchable and often lead to debatable answers. Good compelling questions will require substantial inquiry, as they often can be viewed through multiple perspectives and/or lenses.
