writing response

What should my response be like? 

Responses may take a variety of forms, but the typical assignment will be 300-400 words . In most cases, you won’t have a specific writing prompt. You will instead choose which aspects of the text you found most engaging and write about those. 

Your response should do the following: 

• -  Reflect thoughtfully on course texts
   
• -  Use quotes from the text when appropriate and supply page numbers
   
• -  Take into account multiple perspectives on the issue at hand
   
• -  Contribute interesting ideas or questions for discussion
   
• -  Explore new insights
   
• -  Show a willingness to engage with challenging material
   
• -  Be respectful of other points of view
   
• -  Avoid summarizing the text
