Step 2) Dropbox—I have discussed and am ready to write my Problem Case Response!:

Problem Case Responses should be 250-500 words of your best writing. Avoid slang, jargon, or

“text-speak” (e.g., lol). Your response should be clear and demonstrate engagement with the

reading. It should be more than an easy opinion, but does not have to be a complete

argument. This is a place to explore ideas and expand on concepts you are starting to form in

response to the readings/lecture. Use this link for a clear formatting a style guide. The

following format may be used.

1. Paragraph One: Integrate: In your first paragraph you should integrate some idea from the

reading (Justice by Sandel or even WDJLL by Waziyatawin) into explaining your position (see

criterion one of the rubric)

2. Paragraph Two: Write your position on the case itself. Assert a clear main idea and support

it with as much evidence or reflection as you can. Do your best to use your own voice and

indicate your own position on the issue and why you think you hold this position.

3. Cite: If you used any quotations or outside sources, cite your work. See these links for

helpful guidelines for in text citations versus works cited.
