    Primary & Secondary Research 

    Virtual Lesson Activity 

    Directions:​ Get onto our Zoom/Google meets live lesson to learn about the types of research
    we want you to focus on at the start of our unit two film & website project. See rubric before your
    submit.

    What are you doing? You will plan out some primary research ideas and reflect on at least one
    secondary resource.

    Why are you doing it? To gather information to share on your website (later on) as well as share
    in your film.

     
    I. Primary vs. Secondary Research:  
     
    After attending our live lesson, how would you define primary vs. secondary research:

    ● Primary Research​: Primary research is research and information you collect


    yourself.

    ● Secondary Research​:Secondary research( “Desk Research) involves people using


    existing data that’s already out there, or was found by another person.

    What did we emphasize as being very crucial with your secondary research??
    Secondary research must be local. Also we need to make sure it's a reliable source when we
    search the web for any data, or information.

    II. Planning & Applying Activities: 

    1. Plan on/list/quick-write some ​primary research​ you can and need to do for your
    topic. Be specific and think about how you can create these primary research
    opportunities. Consider our ​teaching model​ as well from the live session.

    Interviews​: We plan to interview a few staff members at Voces , and a few volunteers. We
    would like to get to know more about people, and why they decided to join Voces. We would like
    to make a​ survey​ to compare our secondary research and primary research. See similarities
    and differences. Volunteers are important to interview because we want them to tell their story
    and share their experiences.
    Call their office, or email them to schedule a zoom interview.
    Some questions we might ask are…
    Primary & Secondary Research 
    Virtual Lesson Activity 
    Why did you join Voces?
    How has this impacted you as an individual as well as other people’s lives?
    Is diversity, equity and inclusion a core value in this orginization? Why? ( These are a few ideas
    we have came up as a group, but we have a doc shared with eachother where we write down
    questions we come up with, and we talk about them together , and agree which ones are the
    best, and cover information the audience might want to know about.)

    2. Get on the website and find one ​secondary research source.​ Record the link
    below--ask yourself, is it local?? After you link the source, read it, and write a three
    chunk/paragraph reflection below using the prompts. Once again, consider the ​teaching
    model​ if needed.
    Yes this source is local. Second Wave South Michigan news paper article covering racial equity
    in Battle Creek.
    Source Citation: Copy-Paste or Link it!

    Paragraph #1: Background & Context--tell me what your source is and why you picked it.
    Paragraph #2: Summarize & explain what you learned from the article specifically.
    Paragraph #3: Reflections & Ideas--finally, what ideas do you have from this source? How could
    this help your film or website?

    e-meaning-for-racial-equity-and-social-justice-supporter-from-B-100520.aspx

    When I searched Racial equity in Michigan I scrolled and read the title 
    “Movement has more than one meaning for racial equity and social justice” I 
    automatically clicked on it. The article includes Victoria Fox’s story and why 
    she fights for social justice. It takes us back to her teenage years and where 
    it all began. The article mentions the actions people have taken to spread 
    awareness about social injustice, and what certain orginizations like the BC 
    Collective, and individuals like Victoria Fox are doing to expand racial equity.  
     
    I learned a lot in this article. Firt off, Victoria Fox is a Co- Founder of BC 
    collective and owns her own dance studio named “Stuio- M” .The M stands 
    for movement. She also works with voces and worked at Harper Creek. She 
    wants to get the community involved by offering low to no costs dance 
    lessons. She’s also a co adviser for “People for Equity” at Lakeview. It 
    involves students from schools in Battle Creek. The mission of BC Collective 
    is to be inclusive of people of all backgrounds and political persuasions. 
    Students in Battle Creek have came up with projects such as a privilage walk 
    for “Black History Month” and many other events in the past to support 
    Primary & Secondary Research 
    Virtual Lesson Activity 
    “Womens Month and Hispanic Heritage History Month.” Things like this have 
    brought many children and families closer together 
     
    I have so many ideas for our project. One of them being interviews. I think it’s 
    very important to give people the opportunity to make a difference by using 
    the power of their voice. Victoria Fox used to work at Harper Creek and is 
    still part of the Race Club at Harper. She works for Voces, and we got to 
    know about her and BC Collective last week on Saturaday. She is a very 
    outspoken person, and really works hard to make a difference in our 
    community. I believe she’s a perfect role model for many children and 
    families. We have sent her a text to interview her. We would like to get more 
    pictures of events( even though some are limited due to covid). Voces had 
    actually partnered with BC Collective to give out free Thanksgiving meals 
    and PPE packages last Saturday. This is the perfect example to show others 
    that anything can be accomplished when we work together as a community.
