During reading they are to label problems that the article presented "P" and solutions presented with an "S". They can do this directly on the article. When the article is  read, they are to write out three quotes that they have selected because they related to "Rock Bottom" and/or "The Larder.” They must explain how the quote relates to the other two texts.
