Is bigger better?

a) Draw a single concept map illustrating the primary claims and ideas presented in the Chandler and Schumacher readings (Use about ½ a page. Digitally or hand-drawn concept maps are fine. If you choose hand-drawn you will need to scan and attach the graphic to your electronically submitted file.)

b) In the following ½ page describe whose claim(s) you find more compelling. Be sure to outline why you find it more compelling and why the alternative view is less convincing.

Note: Turnitin will only accept text-based files (e.g. Microsoft Word, Pages). If you draw your concept map digitally, you must cut and paste it into a document editor or your file will not be accepted.
