Read the article and follow the instructions below responses are an opportunity to demonstrate that (1) you read and (2) you understood the assigned course readings. These responses are also an important opportunity to prepare you for discussions. You only need to write 10 response papers. You choose when you write them because there are more than 10 weeks when a student can write a paper. These response papers should be written in Times New Roman 12 size font. The assignment must be single-spaced and be no less than 1 page with 1-inch margins. One full page does not include papers that have excessive spacing, double-spaced name and class information, or any sort of manipulation of spacing. When you do the assignment correctly, it is more than likely your paper will be closer to 1.5 pages. Each response paper should engage with all readings and include analysis. By analysis, I expect you to make connections between the readings and point out broader themes. You may also bring into your analysis current events that speak to themes in the readings and weekly topics. If you are confused about what is considered an analysis, do ask questions. At the end of the response paper, 4 discussion questions should be included. These questions can be ones that you think would stimulate class discussion and/or a question you have pertaining to the reading or topic.
