Give a summary (75-100 words) first, and then give your response. Examples of topics to cover (but not limited to these) in your reaction papers include the following:
- Critical evaluations of the authors’ questions, methods, or conclusions.
- An analysis of the authors’ perspectives and biases, including a discussion of what points they did not discuss that might have been relevant.
- Implications of the authors’ points.
- Similarities or differences between the readings and other readings we have done in this class.
- Similarities or differences between the readings and readings you have done in other classes.
- Links between the readings and your own experiences.
- Links between the readings and events in the news.
- Your question about points in the article might have been unclear.
- Your ideas about future studies that would follow up on the authors’ point.
Keep in mind that you do not have to answer all of these questions in your response. These are just examples of ways you can respond to the readings.
Your response paper should be in APA format, with citations and references.
