Both the article and the lecture are mainly about the possible functions of the settlements of Chaco Canyon. The passage gives three likely theories, while the lecture, by listing evidence, verifies that these theories are all unlikely.
To begin with, as the Chaco great houses looks like those architecture of other societies, such as "apartment buildings" at Taos, New Mexico, the passage indicates that the former also has the same function--living. However, the lecture claims that it is impossible because the residential houses usually have many fire places, while the Chaco structures don't contain so much.
Furthermore, considering the size of such great house, the passage also states that the Chaco houses are likely to be the cornbarn. On the other hand, the lecture points out that some maize containers were found in the these great houses. Thus, it is not sound for that the structures were used to sore the maize, which were grained by Chaco people.
Besides, the article indicates that many broken pots were unearthed from the place the Chaco houses, which may be used to contain foods for the ceremonies; yet the professor also points out that not only pots, some other materials were also excavated, which contains the building materials like sand and stone, meaning that these materials belongs the building workers, and so are those broken pots.

Better to have 5 paragraphs with 3 arguments. And try always support/against one side but compare two sides, like this:
para 1: introduction
para 2: reason 1. address both of the views presented for reason 1
para 3: reason 2. address both of the views presented for reason 2
para 4: reason 3. address both of the views presented for reason 3
para 5: conclusion.
So how to find out those reasons. There is a formula:
reasons == advantages or
reasons == disadvantages
for example, we can always apply 'save time', 'save/make money', 'find a job', 'make friends', 'get more information' as reasons to all essay/speaking topics.
or we can apply 'waste time', 'waste money', 'no job', 'make bad friends', 'get bad information' as reasons to all essay/speaking topics.
More content wanted.
