 Each class summarizes the answers received from the Learning Circle partners. The summaries are posted in the Wiki. On the right click on summary and briefly summarize the answer to our question that the group you answered the question for.

=__Answering Stage__= Important Information Criteria for quality answers: answers are posted on time clear definition without possible misinterpretation, taking into consideration cultural differences the answer always starts with repeating the question. answers should reflect that research has been done and should consist of clear references, mention (re)sources used showing research that has been done It's OK to use Google for research, yet stimulate students to process what they have found and mention the source of their finding by adding the URL or other source post photos, diagrams, tables, presentations or others which can illustrate you research  the minimum number of words should be for a Research Based LC - 250 words in one answer We wish you lots of learning and fun during this Learning Circle, Natasha Cherednichenko
