Neanderthals

You will need to organize your thoughts and notes, then write a two page critical reaction paper based on the readings for this week and your selected outside source.

Your paper should include:

· a very brief, synthesized summary of the important ideas discussed in a selection of readings.

· a logically reasoned critique of the theoretical development, main argument or specific points being discussed, placed in context with ONE additional outside source.

Generally, your synthesized summary will:

· introduce the argumentative theme running through the selection of readings you are analyzing.

· provide an explanation of the concepts, purpose, and/or key ideas forming the framework behind the argumentative theme.

Generally, your critical analysis might (but not always):

· address the nature of the evidence used in constructing the main argument and/or development of theory.

· identify key step(s) or argument(s) in the theoretical approach or use of terminology.

· explain the significance of the assigned works in theory development, using your outside source as an example.
