  20. Your 2 hypotheses • Find another person with the same hypothesis ( 1 or 2). Share your article and findings with that person. Look for similarities. List 2 facts from their article under your facts. About 10 minutes will be given • Next, the 2 of you will find 2 opposites, to form a group of 4. We might have an odd # of groups. Share your findings with each other and write 3 facts about their findings underneath your findings. Make a distinction between yours and theirs. About 10 minutes. • Go back to your seats and analyze your data. Answer the following questions on your paper: 1)Do you agree with your hypothesis or the other group? Why? 2) Which article/hypothesis seemed to be more research based? Reliable and valid?

  22. After reading your case study, answer the following questions. • Looking at your five key points, does the author make a valid argument for each of your points? Give evidence for each (one sentence or less) • Find an “opposite (yes or no)List 5 of the key points from the other p.o.v. that you found interesting. • List any statistics found in your article (2) • Was religion a part of the discussion for either the yes or no? • What was the tone of the author? (ex. optimistic, pessimistic, angry, hopeful, purely scientific, emotional) Why? Give evidence found in your article. • Many argue that if it were proven that homosexuality is biologically based, would decrease. Do you agree with that statement? Yes or no, why or why not based on your readings. • Hand in article and your 10 points
