• What is the question asking?

to address in detail?
• Do you need a case study? Do you need more than one case
study to illustrate difference?
• Identify the points and arguments that you can make
• Read the required reading, any relevant suggested reading
and beyond this
• Has anything changed since what is in the reading?
• Can you find anything (figures etc) that are more recent?
