    Do you have to pull a quote from every article or just a few of them?

    Yeah, do we need a for and against for every article....or would say 5 article examples be okay with pros and cons for each?

    @Claire - The answer to your question is in the directions for the assignment.

    @Erin - You can only use the evidence that's there. It would be unfair to the authors (and the students) to expect you to find evidence for and against in every article.
