Response Papers

As I mentioned in class, you now have another option for response papers. Now that we're in the final stretch of the semester, and your workload is probably piling up, here's an easier option of response papers. You can continue to do response papers as you've done them all along, or you can opt for this alternative.

Instead of completing a two-page response to the stories, you can bring in TWO comments on the assigned reading. Comments can be anything of interest that you've noticed in the stories, for example, a paragraph that included an unusual or beautiful description of something, an observation about the nature of a character, or a comparison between the assigned short story and a previous short story. Be prepared to read your comments aloud in class, as well as remark on other's comments. Your comments will still be graded.
