Objective:
I can demonstrate understanding of the parameters for the SHRRP outline, and track my research in my dialectical research log.  I can collate evidence, evaluating it for credibility and usefulness.

I can deepen my understanding of global poverty, by perusing and responding to terminology and literary accounts.  I can support my assertions with textual evidence.

I can make inferences, evaluate evidence and conclusions, detect underlying assumptions, and see relationships around a theme of injustice.
