DIRECTIONS:
The left side of your table must contain at least eight quotations from the reading with page numbers noted. Should you wish to refer to a particularly large selection, you may paraphrase it.
The right side of your table must comment on each of these eight points. Your right side can respond to questions such as:
- What strikes you about this?
- What was your first thought when you read this? And then? And then?
- What does this passage/idea make you think of or remember?
- Do you want to challenge or qualify this author’s claim? In what ways do you agree with it? Disagree?
- What else have you read/heard/experienced that connects with this author’s ideas?
- Does something confuse you or lead to further questions?
- How do you feel about this?
Using the template below, type out your responses. When I grade these, I will be looking for detail. The best way to guarantee earning full credit for this assignment is to comment fully on your passages.
