If the article(s) seems to contradict something you have learned how do you explain that? Is the theory or generalization incorrect, is the article based on unsound or weak evidence, or is the article dealing with something which, despite some similarity to a course issue, is different? (i.e., Does this article deal with a different time or group from the class material and can this explain disparate findings?) In short, your write up should not be straight summary of the article but a comparison/contrast to course material. Do not simply summarize the article without clearly stating what course material it agrees or disagrees with. do an accurate interpretation of a simple article than if you botch a complex one. ***you must discuss at least two different historical periods, two distinct generalizations made by lectures or readings. (Discussion of the voting behavior of two different social groups or the same group at would count as two distinct generalizations).
