Cluster of My Controversy

Cluster of My Controversy

I created a cluster diagram regarding the telescope controversy in Hawaii. I put the name of the controversy in the center and then branched off in the lefthand right directions to depict the major proponents and opponents of the controversy. I then went into more detail regarding the specifics of either side of the debate. Below is a link to the cluster chart:

Reflection:
I read Michaela's cluster of controversy as well as Stef's cluster of controversy. Both of these cluster types gave me insight into different ways of creating a cluster diagram and how helpful they can be when formulating what you want to write about in an assignment. Michaela's cluster was interesting because it really went in depth to all the groups on all sides of her controversy rather than just a few of the main ones. I think this is important when finding credible sources in order to expand on in your writing. Stef's cluster diagram was a little bit less elaborate but had many different connections which are important when thinking about a controversy as a whole and how each part interrelates to others. I think I might go back and take a second look at my cluster diagram to see if there's any other important connections I could make to develop my diagram more.

  1. This was a pretty easy flow chart to read, so good job with that! It was fairly organized, probably more organized than mine, so I definitely should have put some more thought to it. Overall, I liked it and it was easy to read.

  2. I was impressed with the amount of information you put in your Coggle without making the map overwhelmed. This will give you a great start to your paper. The information is easy to find as it has two distinct areas as well as many subgroups. I like it!

  3. I also used Coggle, and it was nice to see another twist on the same concept. Just like Carrie, I also divided my Coggle into two completely separate sections and then branched on from there. I like the organized and hierarchal structure that Carrie used, and I think the Coggle gives a very clear image of the controversy.

    Just from the size of the Coggle itself you can see that the proponents of the telescope have a larger network, which is a very cool visual.

  4. I really admire how much detail you put into your cluster. You had a ton of information, but it still flowed nicely and was easy to read.
