Reading Response
Assignment Overview
Summarizing, paraphrasing, and quoting from source material
Reading response assignments are designed to provide students practice in summarizing, paraphrasing, and quoting from source material and to get students used to properly documenting sources in text and on a works cited page. Completing numerous reading response assignments gives students the opportunity to make sure they have mastered these important skills before it is time to submit essays (in which failure to document sources properly would result in a failing grade and/or potential problems with plagiarism). By completing numerous reading response assignments for each unit throughout the semester in addition to writing 3 essays incorporating source material, students should master the academic standards for integrating and citing source material.
Requirements
Students will write a 1-2 page response (double spaced, 12 point Times New Roman or similar font) responding to each assigned reading from Reading Popular Culture. Students will also complete a practice reading response in your small group in Unit 2, responding to an essay from They Say, I Say.
Reading responses should include:
a clear (though brief) summary of the authors overall argument and main ideas, demonstrating the student’s complete understanding of the text and providing clear context for specific ideas included (see below);
at least one specific idea from the text (quoted or paraphrased, depending on the assignment/situation, and appropriate cited in text);
the students response to that idea (including assessment/opinion and outside examples to support that point of view), demonstrating individual thinking and analysis/critical thinking;
a works cited list at the end of the assignment.
Assessment
Reading responses will be graded on the students representation of the original ideas from the text, the students response to the text, and the students accurate citation of the text, and usage, as outlined in the Reading Response Rubric .
