educational backgrounds and fields (credentials),
their expertise, and where they are today, and summarize what you found.
- For each "side" in the reading (yes, no), list the most
compelling argument(s).
- Name at least two
cause/effect (or if/then) relationships that were stated or implied.
- Did you find any logical errors in these articles like distortion of
information, oversimplification or faulty generalization?
- Write down an
idea or topic, which arises from these readings, that you
would like to share and/or discuss during our class discussion.
- Create a clicker question for the class that relates to the article
