Group Work

• Go through the article and summarize as a group and answer any questions.  When you get to a major supporting argument, write it down and write out the evidence he uses to support it.  Not every paragraph is a supporting argument or offers evidence.  (Example – he spends time explaining what paleopathology is so he can use it for several arguments he makes).   Also, record any potential arguments you have against his main points.
