Guidelines for Reading Response Papers

Your reading response paper should be 1/2 to 1 page, or approximately 200-300 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;
  6. Something not mentioned in the reading but that is tangentially related and worth discussing further.

Please email your response papers to me 30 minutes before class starts (10.30 am).
