Look more closely at the assigned readings from The Norton Reader or reading bank.  Both readings could be considered examples of writing that answers questions with the help of research.

Write out answers to TWO of the following questions (your choice).  Make sure in your post to be clear about which questions you’re answering.

1. What is the question raised in the “Google” reading?  Does the author answer the question?  If so, what is the answer?

2. What is the question raised in the “Single-Child” reading? Does the author answer the question?  If so, what is the answer?

3. Name one source used in the “Google” reading.  How does the source help the author answer the question?

4. Name one source used in the “Single-Child” reading.  How does the source help the author answer the question?

5. What’s your own overall response to the question posed in the “Google” reading?

6. What’s your own overall response to the question posed in the “Single-Child” reading?
