This week’s Reading Response assignment asked students to find 1-3 primary sources (government reports, news articles, website blurbs, etc.) and 1-2 related peer-reviewed secondary sources, and compare-and-contrast these sources. I designed this assignment to help students prepare for writing their essay. This post complements student research highlighted in this post. More details below the fold!

This post is in response to the same student comments and questions spurred by the assignment outlined in On Sustainability, Summer 2010 (pt. 1 of 2).
