Information gathering and processing
In this stage, students complete:
Research on food apps, including the platforms in the U.S., China, and Taiwan, and the how food apps and disposable products have impact on our lives from the perspective of their other major. Task type: Interpretive tasks (listening, reading- English if needed, video)
Then they interview college students in China/Taiwan and experts to gather more information about the food apps and the impact of food apps on their respective majors (e.g., economy, biology, etc.)
Use Google Docs to list links and content of relevant materials.
Use Google Forms for collecting interview notes.
Use the Canva website to categorize lightning talks based on keywords.
