◦How does this article fit into what you knew or thought you knew about the subject

◦What are things you still want to know

◦Post on the discussion record board at least one point for each person for each of the above things

}2)Find a question from each of the three/four of you: something you don’t understand or know or want more information about.  Pick the point that either seems to be the most necessary for understanding, or shared by most of you
