Each Reading Response Entry Should Begin With A Quotation From The R

Each reading response entry should begin with a quotation from the required reading. It should be a quote of a passage that you have a question about and that interests you in some way. After you’ve posted the quotation, you need to try to articulate a question that you have about that passage, and that relates to something in the reading that is of interest to you. The question should be explained over at least five sentences. This will give you the opportunity to develop your thinking about the reading in a meaningful way. Do not simple restate facts, or summarize what you've read or viewed.

We’ve all read it and we DO NOT need you to rehash the plot, the major themes, etc… You should be engaging with this material in a way that reflects what you’re thinking about it. That's what's most important here. Each entry should refer directly to the specific passage that you quoted from. You may want to relate this passage to another passage in the reading, or to a broader idea but the question needs to be based in the passage itself.

You will also be required to respond to at least one of your classmates’ reading responses. Be sure to engage in a meaningful, respectful way with their ideas. Don't just say "I agree" or "that's a bad idea." Try to use your engagement as an occasion to produce new ideas. Reading responses are graded, and in order to receive full credit, they need to reflect careful reading and thinking. Reading responses that don’t demonstrate that you’ve done the reading will not receive credit. For instance, if you write, as a question, “Why did you have us read this?” or “What other books did this author write?” or “What does the author want to say to us?” then you won’t receive credit. Be specific, referencing the reading/viewing material and engaging with it, and you’ll do fine. LINK FOR THE REFERENCE ESSAY

Paper For Above instruction

The assignment requires writing substantive reading responses that begin with a quotation from the required reading material. Each response should include a passage that prompts a question, which must be articulated clearly and developed over at least five sentences to encourage critical engagement. The question must relate directly to the specific passage and should not be a mere summary or general inquiry about the work. Instead, responses should demonstrate thoughtful analysis, reflecting personal engagement and interpretation of the material. Moreover, students are expected to respond to at least one peer’s response, fostering a respectful and productive dialogue that introduces new perspectives. Grading will be based on the depth of reading comprehension and critical thinking evident in the responses. Vague or superficial questions that do not demonstrate an understanding of the reading, such as “Why did we read this?” or “What other works has this author written?” will not be credited. Instead, responses should include precise references and demonstrate meaningful engagement with the text or media. Proper citation and quotation of the reading material are essential to ground the discussion appropriately, and the discussion should be structured to facilitate readability and search engine optimization through semantic HTML use.
