Complete student handout 5.2 (1 per group)

Individually, complete Question 6. This MUST be original work. Refer to the Elements of a Strong Justification chart to help guide you As a group, you do NOT have to agree on one solution

You are welcome to bring in evidence to show and pass around, but there will be no projector or computer available (low tech presentation).
