You will write response essays for this class. Response essays analyze the readings by answering how the selections are in conversation. Therefore, read the selections closely to reveal the critical connections the readings make concerning a certain topic. Your response will make an argument instead of just summarizing the selections.

 

How to write the essay:

It should give a brief summary of how the works address the weeks topic.

Consider the following for the body:

the common ground of the essays                   

how the author(s) support the thesis

question(s) posed by the authors

the purpose of the arguments

effectiveness of logical appeal(examples/precedents, authority/testimony, cause/effect, visuals)

appropriate emotional appeals(concrete descriptive language, figurative language, visuals)

address at least two questions that the authors provoked through your own reading

concluding statement for the essay

 

Use MLA Format

Set margins 1 (top/bottom left/right)

If you use a block quote, only use 1 block quote. Block quotes may not be longer than 6 lines.

You must cite at least 2 works from the weeks selections.

Do not cite intext quotes consecutively. Once you include a quote, you must explain it.
