INSTRUCTIONS
Provide a 3+ sentence answer to each of the following questions/prompts by relying on the information in Chapter 3. If including direct quotations from your textbook, use quotation marks and cite the page number: “Quoted text here” (p.#). Do NOT overuse quotations in your assignment. Rather, focus on explaining what the text means, in your own words, in order to demonstrate your understanding of the readings.
Chapter 3 Questions
