Home >English homework help >3 page reflection paper

The purpose of this assignment is twofold:

(1) to require you to critically think about and react to something you have read

(2) to enhance your general writing abilities.

Out of the twenty-five chapters you will read in your Handbook of Attachment text (over fifteen class sessions), choose Twelve of the chapters for which you would like to write a reaction paper. After reading the chapters that you have chosen, you will write a three to five-page paper, double-spaced paper in which you provide your reaction to what you read. The format of the paper should be as follows:

INTRODUCTORY PARAGRAPH

· This paragraph should give a brief description of what you will be discussing in your paper. In other words, this paragraph should provide a general “road map” of what is to come.

BODY OF PAPER

· This should be 2-3 paragraphs in which you provide your reaction to the article. Each paragraph should have a sentence or two that presents the main idea, followed by supporting sentences.

CONCLUDING PARAGRAPH

· This paragraph should provide a general overview of what was discussed in your paper. Provide a “wrap up” of your main points.

Papers should have 1” margins with 12-point font. No direct quotes allowed! Include a cover page with your name and the title of the chapter you are writing about—none of this information should appear on the reaction page. Please remember parenthetic citations are required and so is a separate reference page.

This assignment will be graded using the following general criteria:

Evidence of critical thought

--Was their evidence that the reaction was clearly thought out?

--How original were the thoughts presented in the paper?

Writing style (All writing must be in formal APA format)

--Was the format of the paper followed?

--Did the intro paragraph provide a description of what was to come?

--Did the paragraphs have a main idea with supporting sentences?

--Did the conclusion provide an overview of what was discussed?

Reaction Papers are to be written on the Handbook of Attachment readings only.
