Write a 2-4 page essay summarizing and responding to a single source. Your essay should be written in MLA format (double-spaced, Times New Roman 12 pt. font, 1 inch margins). Remember, there is a template which is already set up in the appropriate format in the “Useful Links” block on Moodle. Class-specific Skills Assessed: Critical Reading, Summarizing, Organization, Quoting, Formatting Choosing Your Topic For your essay, you should choose one of the articles we’ve discussed: “Superman and Me” Response writing calls for you to express the content of the article you’ve read in your own words and then provide your own perspective on that article (not that entire issue). In other words, I am looking for you to stick close to the source text and include specific points with which you agree or disagree. Each paragraph you write should have some reference to the article, whether you’re quoting or paraphrasing. You do not necessarily need to agree or disagree with everything the author says in order to argue effectively. It is perfectly acceptable to have a fair amount of common ground along with some new perspective of your own. No matter which approach you choose, you will write as if you’re communicating with an audience that has not read the article that you’re responding to. You’ll need to explain what is contained in the original piece and why it is important that you respond to it; then you can develop your own opinions while making specific references to the article.
