                With our process, my group and I first decided on what our primary research question would be that we all wanted to investigate. We found a lot of interesting ideas with the film Food, Inc. that we watched in class.  Then when we had an idea in mind for our primary research question, we came up with our others as well collectively.  The we figured out how we wanted to work together to write the paper and divided it up into subtopics between each of us, and I thought that it worked out very nicely.  Then we each focused in on our portion writing about two pages each.  After that was completed, we then meant up and put everything together reviewing what we all had written and completing the paper as a whole to make sure it all sounded good with what we added.  The last thing we did was work on our bibliography and published it to our site.

 

I think that the product of our collaborative research project came out pretty well, but it's still a work in progress.  I think that I learned a lot from doing the research on the topic as well as coming together with my group to hear what they found out.  One things I learned from this assignment was how the animals were really being treated, and its something that you never really think of when it comes to buying food.  Factory farming is more about getting production faster and cheaper but there are no true concern of health.  They put antibiotics to help the animals be free from disease but it still has an effect within our food.  Some other things like what the workers go through and the laws they have in place to protect the consumers.  Overall, I think that we answered our research question and the group worked very well together.
