Responses to the reading will be due before class every Tuesday. Your response should be 250-350 words in length, but aside from that, the format is quite open-ended. Basically, I want you to show that youve done the readings and thought about them. In your response I want you to at least include the following:
2-3 sentences in which you try to summarize the authors main point(s), and perhaps thinking about key words or concepts that you noticed
Your reaction to the reading, which could include what surprised you, what confused you, what you disagreed with, what was left out.
Perhaps some comparative comments: comparing what you read to what you know about other religions or this religious tradition in other places; perhaps comparison with things weve already read or learned in this class.
Some questions that you are left with about the reading or the topic that you wish you had more information about.
