This is a brainstorming activity in which students work in groups that each spend time (approx. 2-3 min.) at 3 different stations. I typically tape each sheet (there are 3, see attachment) to one of those large, self-adhesive Post-It sheets, which I in turn put up on a wall; in other words, there are 3 big Post-It sheets around the classroom, each with one question sheet taped to it. I put 1 or 2 colored markers at each station. The first rotation can be a bit of a challenge because students are just getting those brain juices flowing! Then the next rotation, students are building off of the group that was just there before them; that's usually a little easier. By the third and final rotation it gets a little challenging again coming up with new ideas and building off of previous ones. I try to liven it up by setting a 2-3 minute timer on my phone where it plays "Baby Shark" or something fun like that when it's time to rotate. 🙂🦈

This activity is intended to help students understand the types of sources that are most commonly cited in research in a specific discipline or field. Students will review the citations from multiple relevant journal articles to identify the types of sources that are often cited. They will also be encouraged to consider why certain types of sources may be more cited than others, and what may be missing by relying primarily on certain types of sources. In addition, students will get practice in identifying the appropriate citation format for different types of sources.
