1 Reading Response -- Due March 22 Responses must be uploaded to Quercus prior to the start of lecture on March 22nd - that means, it is due March 22nd at 3:00pm. Assignments submitted after that time will be penalized 5% per 24-hour period that it is late. You can choose to write on the readings for one of five classes: Class #6 (February 22ndt), Class #7 (March 1st), Class #8 (March 8th), Class #9 (March 15th) or Class #10 (March 22nd) for your reading response. You must write on all the articles/chapters assigned for that class. In the summary section you are to summarize all the required readings for that day. In the essay section you must use all required readings, but may also draw on recommended readings, readings from other weeks, or outside sources. Your reading responses consist of two components: Part 1: Reading summary (5 points) • 1-2 pages, single-spaced • One or two ‘meaty’ paragraphs per required reading o You are distilling the key themes 1. Complete a first read, marking ideas as you go. a. Ask yourself: i. What is the context of the piece? ii. Who is the audience? iii. What is the author trying to say? iv. How do she/he/they go about demonstrating it? v. Does she/he/they do a good job b. Review the critical thinking lecturette for other ways of approaching this. 2. Re-read the article and write a summary. a. Write a summary that captures the essence of author’s argument (main points) and puts it into context. Part 2: Critical response essay (20 points) • 3-5 pages, double-spaced • First decide what you want to say: o Synthesize readings; 2 o Use the prompts to get you thinking; o But go beyond the prompts too, show some creativity; o Contextualize, analyse, critique, comment, etc. • Make your argument clear in the introduction to your essay. o Make use of a thesis statement to state what you will be arguing. • Develop your argument using the readings. o You can incorporate other pieces (recommended readings, readings from other weeks, outside sources) but it is not necessary. Remember! • Don’t summarize (that’s what the summaries are for). • Find themes that run across the readings or things that the authors see differently. o Try to put the readings in conversation with one another. • Have a clear argument, and a logical, thoughtful structure. • Develop your argument using the readings, rather than discussing the readings in order to develop an argument. • Use 12pt. Times New Roman font and 2 cm margins on all sides • Use ASA formatting for your citations and reference page. o You do not need to include a title page or an abstract. o You should include a title on the first page of your assignment. • Include your name, ID number, course code, and date. Some tips Simply demonstrating a competent or adequate understanding of the material will earn a mark in the C range, at best. Good and excellent assignments will demonstrate that you have used the provided prompts to develop a critical reaction to the readings. • This involves doing both a close, careful reading of that week's materials, as well as writing the essay in such a way that places the readings in the context of larger course themes.
