The reading responses should be about 300-400 words.
The reading responses are intended to help you to think critically and
collectively about each week’s readings. You might start off by very briefly summarizing the arguments of each text, then critically examining main ideas across the texts. You should cite the readings and use quotations from them to ground your argument. Think about how the texts have contributed to your understanding of the urban discourses that week. What issues raised in the texts are of particular interest to you, and how would you like for us to address these issues in our class discussion?
