- Putting the articles together:

How does the information from the different articles link together? Do they
match? Do they complement each other, do they contradict each other?
Could this lead to new insights / a new or improved research question?
- Reflection: discuss your thoughts on the different steps of the process
1. Group discussions and visualisation
 How did visualising ideas (e.g., mind maps, diagrams, drawings) help you?
 Did putting ideas on paper change how you thought about them?
 What made your discussions productive—or not?
 Did everyone contribute equally? Why or why not?
 What discussion strategy worked best in your group?
2. Thinking about a research question
 Was it difficult to move from a general theme to a specific question?
 What makes a “good” research question now, in your opinion?
 Did your question change over time? Why?
 Does your question allow for different interpretations, or just one answer?
 If you could rewrite your question now, how would you improve it?
3. Searching for academic articles
 What was challenging about finding academic sources?
 How did you decide which sources were useful or relevant?
 Did you reject any sources? Why?
 What skills did you need that you hadn’t used before?
 What would you do differently next time you search for sources?
4. Reading and annotating an article
 What made academic articles difficult to read?
 What strategies helped you understand them (e.g., skimming,
highlighting)?
 Were you able to identify the main argument clearly?
 What was the hardest part to annotate?
 Did your understanding improve as you worked through the article?
5. Explaining your article to others
 What was challenging about explaining your article clearly?
 Did teaching your article help you understand it better?
 How did your group members react—did they ask useful questions?
 Was anything misunderstood? How did you clarify it?
 What makes an explanation effective?
6. Overall reflection on the process
 What was the most challenging part of the entire project?
 What did you learn that you didn’t expect?
 Which skill improved the most (reading, discussion, research, explaining)?
 When did your thinking about the novel change the most?
 What advice would you give next year’s students doing this project?
