1.Does a journal article represent fully-completed research, or not? (Yes / No)

2.Name the different sections of a journal article.

3.From your general experience of reading journal articles last semester:

a)Which section(s) of a journal article do you think are the most useful? Why?

b)Which section(s) of a journal article do you think are the most complex / difficult to understand? Why?

7. What sections of a Research Proposal will you need to complete in Semester 2?

8. So far, how many sources have you added to your Annotated Bibliography (you can find this in Google Drive)?

9. So far, have you found it difficult or easy to search for sources related to your own research? What search strategies have helped you? Share any suggestions and advice with your partner / group.

4. Which stages of the research process did you complete in Semester 1?

5. What is your own research focus (from Semester 1)? Briefly explain it to your group / partner

6. Does your group have any general questions about what to include in each of the Introduction sections?

• Group A: argue yes (for 1) & citizens (for 2)

• Group B: argue yes (for 1) & governments/corporations (for 2)

• Group C: argue no (for 1) & governments/corporations (for 2)

• Group D: argue no (for 1) & citizens (for 2)

1. Electric Vehicles (EVs): The shift from fossil fuel-powered vehicles to electric vehicles is a significant step towards sustainable transport. EVs reduce greenhouse gas emissions and reliance on oil. Advances in battery technology and the expansion of charging infrastructure are making EVs more accessible and practical.

2. Public Transport: Enhancing and expanding public transportation systems can significantly reduce the number of private vehicles on the road, thus lowering emissions. Buses, trams, and trains powered by renewable energy sources further increase the sustainability of public transport.

3. Biking and Walking: Encouraging non-motorized forms of transportation, like biking and walking, is beneficial. Many cities are improving their cycling infrastructure and pedestrian pathways to make these options safer and more attractive.

4. Urban Planning: Developing cities in a way that promotes shorter travel distances and better accessibility to public transit can reduce reliance on private vehicles. Mixed-use developments help in creating more walkable environments.

Specific argument (2): Who is responsible for making sustainable transport methods and choices (more) sustainable: governments (and / or corporation

1. Making Sustainable Choices: Individuals can choose more sustainable transport options in their daily lives. Opting to walk, bike, or use public transit instead of driving personal vehicles can reduce carbon emissions and traffic congestion. Additionally, when purchasing a vehicle, choosing electric or hybrid models over traditional gasoline-powered ones can make a significant impact.

2. Advocacy and Demand: Citizens can advocate for better policies and infrastructure that promote sustainable transport. This includes supporting initiatives for more bike lanes, better public transit services, and urban planning that prioritizes walkability and accessibility. By voicing their needs and demands, citizens can influence local and national policies.

3. Community Involvement: Engaging in or initiating community-based projects such as carpool programs, community bike-sharing schemes, or local awareness campaigns about sustainable transport benefits helps spread the adoption of greener practices.

4. Educational Outreach: Citizens can educate themselves and others about the benefits of sustainable transport. By increasing awareness of the environmental, economic, and health benefits of sustainable transport choices, individuals can influence their peers and create a culture that values and practices sustainability.

5. Voting and Political Engagement: By participating in democratic processes, citizens can vote for leaders and policies that prioritize sustainability in transport and other areas. Support for policies that encourage investment in sustainable infrastructure or that impose stricter environmental regulations on transportation methods can lead to significant changes.
