• You need to select a reading from the evolving list → Readings: Works Consulted-excluding the reading that you led a discussion on during class.

  • Thesis: Then, assess its value to you or summarize your opinion about the piece as it relates to your understanding of how our minds work. 
    • Note that you may opt to zoom in discuss focused section of the reading after introducing and summarizing the entire piece. 

RP#1 & RP#2 Body Section Expectations

• Within this body section of your response, explain your thesis (i.e., your view).
• I encourage you consider incorporating the following as you explain your thesis:
  • relate the piece to your own experiences
  • to other course readings
  • to how you think the content could help people live better lives (e.g., by making better decisions, by being able to process and manage information, being better able to engage with others) 
• I also recommend engaging in a dialogue with the writer(s) by asking questions, challenging claims, and sharing what you now want to know more about. 
• As you react, you need to incorporate three (or more) passages from the reading that relate to your discussion. 
  • As you incorporate the passages, make sure that you sandwich them: Introduce the passage, quote the passage, and then paraphrase and discuss the passage. 
  • Set off passages that are longer than 4 lines or passages that you want to emphasize.
  • Also use brackets and ellipsis points to help you smoothly integrate quotations. 
• Note that you are welcome to incorporate your classmates' annotations. Make sure that you follow quoting guidelines and add each referenced classmate to your work-cited page.
  • MLA Style Center: "How do I cite a conversation in a chat tool?"
  • The 9th edition of the MLA Handbook specifies that you may also opt to quote the comment within the title spot. (Follow quoting guidelines.)
