Summarize three main aspects or arguments for the piece (which can also involve evaluating the arguments and stating your opinion of their effectiveness, though these thoughts shouldn’t replace summaries of what the author actually wrote);

Devise one potential discussion question that you would assign if you were the professor, that could help your classmates make the way through the “maze” themselves. How would you use this article as a springboard for further discussion, to help improve your understanding of the field as a whole?
