Guidelines for Reading Response Papers

Your reading response paper should be approximately 250 words. You can write about any number of things, such as:

  1. What you see as the most important themes in the reading;
  2. Something that caught your attention that you want to learn more about;
  3. Something that really made you think;
  4. Something that you think is wrong or incorrect;
  5. Something you think would make a good topic for class conversation.

Please post your response to the course Canvas site no later than 7:00 am on the day that it is due. Within Canvas, go to Discussions (on the nav bar on the left), select the correct reading and date, and then post your response as a "Reply" to the discussion topic.

Please also print your response, bring it to class, and be prepared to share your thoughts.
