Wiggling

Wiggling was hard! There was so much great information but trying to incorporate everything just made me dizzy. So, I went back and looked at my guiding questions again. Then I looked at all the sites I had bookmarked at Delicious and only kept the best sources that helped me to answer the what, why, and how of eating organic. I feel like I've been Webbing and Wiggling for weeks! I'll admit I got a little be frustrated and overwhelmed! Now that I remember how it feels, I think it will definitely be necessary to take some brain breaks and hold some debriefing sessions the next time my students take on this task. I've been comparing the phases of the 8W's to the Research Cycle model during this journey. I think Wiggling is quite similar to the Sorting and Sifting of the Research Cycle, identifying the information that is truly useful and going to contribute to making meaning. I'm off to do my Weaving now! I'm actually excited to put these thoughts together to see how all of my information can merge into one product.
