Format
- .• Each Reading Response should include at least one direct quotation from the assigned reading,with proper in-text citation.• Each Reading Response should be edited and proofread thoroughlyThere are four parts to a Reading Response:1) an argumentative topic sentence2) evidence in the form of quotations or paraphrases for the argument you are making3) interpretation of your evidence in relation to the argument4) a strong concluding statement.Do not write a plot summary. Analyze, interpret, and make an argument about the reading.1. The Argumentative Thesis StatementYou can think of your Reading Response as a mini-essay with an introductory paragraph
- your topicsentence is usually the first sentence. Your thesis statement is the last sentence in the introduction. Youshould include the author’s name and the title of the text you are writing about in the first sentence, and youmust state precisely and concisely what you are going to argue, prove, or analyze about the text in the thesisstatement. Creating a strong argumentative thesis statement is perhaps the most crucial step in writing agood Reading Response. A strong thesis statement gives you something to say
- it helps ensure that theresponse you write proves, argues, illustrates, interprets, or explains something. The most commonmistakes students make when writing a Reading Response are to write a weak thesis statement or a thesisstatement that is a statement of fact
- a weak thesis statement leads to an unfocused, rambling response,and a factual statement leads to a summary of the text. If, after writing your response, you find thatmany of your sentences say the same thing or that you have actually summarized all or part of a text, thenyou probably have not created a strong thesis statement.
