For this activity, you will form four groups.
In your groups, look at the source you were given and answer the questions on the Scholarly Article Exploration worksheet (linked below). This is a shared Google Doc. Find your group number and fill out your section. You can nominate one person in your group to fill out the worksheet.
Keep in mind that you are not expected to read the source from start to finish - the worksheet will prompt you to look at specific sections.
Once you've completed questions 1-5, raise your hand to ask for your comparison source. This is a source on a similar topic for you to compare to your first source. Answer the remaining questions about the comparison source.
When everyone is done, each group will share what they discussed. Your group should agree on one person to be the speaker for your group.
