ENGL 383 Reaction Papers Site

During the course of the semester, you will compose a series of brief reaction papers of about 2 pages (no fiddling with margins or font size to weasel 1 page into 2 pages, either!) for readings I will announce in class. In this brief reaction, I'd like you to address one or more of the following considerations:

  • your understanding of the discussion taking place in the assigned works
  • what concept we discussed in those works that is particularly new to you, and your thoughts on that concept now after discussing it in class
  • what you've learned about yourself from reading and discussing this text, or what questions you still have based on the reading

    Please give these items some thought, and actually spend some time on these reactions. Reactions should be clearly typed/printed, double-spaced, and stapled; put your name and the course number on it (ENGL 383); remember also to include the title of the novel/play. Don't wait til just before class to do this, either--I can tell, and I penalize hasty or slipshod work.
