Response papers should be short (3 pages maximum) and conversational – they do notneed to be structured like a formal essay, and grammar/spelling/writing will not beassessed (think of them as ongoing journal entries). Response papers on Secondary Sources should follow this model: Paragraph One: Summarize the contents of the article Paragraph Two: Identify the central argument/thesis of the article Paragraphs Three: Provide a brief analysis of how effective you thought the argumentwas (you are free to comment on whatever elements of the article you think are mostimportant – use specific examples).
