Cluster of My Controversy

Below is a zoomed-out screenshot and a link to my coggle on the dilemmas associated with geoengineering.

Geoengineering has two main groups, those for it and against it, and in this coggle I broke down the key arguments for each side. There are many individuals and methods being proposed, and it was important to analyze the validity of each.

Reflection:

It was interesting to see how many of my peers chose Coggle as their platform. After looking through the seven suggested platforms and trying a couple of them out, Coggle was the most effective one. A closer look at my classmates blogs showed me that I could've been a bit more elaborate with some of my branches, but I am still satisfied with how mine turned out. The cluster map was useful for organizing my thoughts into a somewhat legible format, and will make it easier to identify key figures when writing it.

Isaak's cluster was structured similar to my own. Although our branches have different headings, we both identified important points and elaborated on them. His topic has been explored more than my own, so it was likely easier for him to find media outlets and speakers. Since my controversy is still developing, it was hard to identify many media outlets or speakers. His format was easy to understand, and if I wanted to know a specific person it would be easy to locate.

Elliot's cluster was also created in Coggle. There were fewer branches on his cluster, but he also provided more in-depth summaries of his different points. It's not as appealing to the eye, but it gets the job done.

  1. Compared to mine, your cluster is very detailed. I like how you organized the points into two major sections, which makes it a lot easier to read. I like the way you divided your points under the two major sections as well. Also, your thoughts are very concise so there's not so much text that it's hard to read.

  2. Hi Chelsea! This looks great! I also used Coggle- seems like a lot of us did. I like your use of color as well as the different font sizes. That really makes it easier for the reader. It also looks detailed and concise. I'm really interested to read your QRG!
