My research question did not really change. I consulted my fellow group members because I was concerned that my question was too broad. They assured me that the question was fine, not too broad and not to narrow, which gave me a definite boost of confidence. So, as it stands today, my research question is, "What negative effects is texting having on student's grades and their behavior in the classroom?" I decided not to change it after speaking with the other group members and hearing their research questions. All of our questions flow really well together and we are all looking at the negative aspect of our respective topics which, I think, will make for a solid argument. Some of the resources I think will need are statistics about student’s grades, showing whether or not texting in the classroom is having a positive or negative effect on their grades. I would also like to talk to some of my friends who are teachers and see what they have to say about students and texting in the classroom. I would like to see if they see a change in behavior and grades in students when texting is banned from the classroom. Word Count: 200
