Source Response

Use the Sources I gave plus the 2 youtube videos to write this.

Will pose a how or why question, then answer the question.

Rubric

/5 points – source #2 + lecture material link(s)
/5 points – source #3 + lecture material link(s)
/5 points – source #4 + lecture material link(s)
/5 points – source #5 + lecture material link(s)

Points will be assessed on how well the student connects the source to their how/why question and to lecture materials.
