The task
1. Focus on a core idea from the assigned texts that you consider important. It may seem like the most central idea, or one that has led to an “aha!” moment for you or one that you find problematic. A prompt to guide you as to the focus of your reading response will be suggested by the instructor at the start of the respective module.
2. Choose a key quote from one of the readings that illustrates this idea for you and explain why.
3. Then discuss how each of the readings connects to this idea. Do the authors say similar or different things? How do they provide different insights on it?
A reading response asks you to examine, explain and reflect on your personal reactions to the reading. Your response is not an opinion piece and should not simply summarize content, but rather are brief works of reflective educational analysis interrogating the document using critical perspective-taking. As you do this over and over, you will develop stronger critical thinking skills, approach educational sources with greater awareness, and understand how educators use such sources to construct educational prompts.
There is no right or wrong answer to a reader’s response. Nonetheless, it is important that you demonstrate an understanding of the reading and clearly explain and support your reactions.
Submission format
1. A reading response is a full 2 pages long (double-spaced) and thoroughly proofread for spelling and grammar.
2. Give your paper a catchy title, i.e. not “Reading response #2.”
3. Do not include a title page or a separate Works Cited page – what you turn in should be no more than 2 pages under any circumstances.
