Informal Reading Responses x5 (15%)

Throughout the semester, you will compose 5 informal reading responses out of the 8 opportunities. Each reading response should be 500 words long, and you should attempt to go beyond merely summarizing the readings. Since our texts this semester can be quite challenging, this is a great opportunity for you to ask questions, describe what you don't understand, and take a stab at what you think you do understand. Also, feel free to make connections to examples in culture or from personal experience that might help you relate to the readings. You will post each reflection as a Word document (.doc or .docx) to the Blackboard discussion thread for the specific reading response date and reading.

Please submit your response at 5pm the day before our discussion.
