Weekly Reading Response – Week X

I. [Give the complete and correct bibliographic citation according to Chicago style for the reading to

which you are responding.]

II. [Give a 1- to 2-sentence summary of the reading here.]

III. [Give the quotation from the reading and the page number here.]

[Then give your response to it in a separate paragraph.]

IV. [Give an overall response to the reading here. Responses that are evaluative—that is, those

that state whether you liked the reading or whether it was good, bad, etc., or that are based on

personal anecdotes—are not appropriate. You should give a thoughtful analytical response in

which you engage with the author’s point of view, how the author made the argument, the larger

context of the argument, and so forth.]
