Turn in Reaction Essay #1
Reaction essays are just that: a student’s expanded reaction to a discussion session, downloaded material, textbook reading or multimedia presentation. There is no research component required for this paper. (Although, if you choose, there can be.) It is not a formal piece. Still, it should be thoughtful and well-planned. That reaction can take many forms.
These can include:
1.) Expand on an entry in a discussion section. (If you take this option, cut and past your initial post at the start of your reaction essay.)
or
2.) Taking a particular position on a class discuss where there was a divergence of opinion.
or
3.) Discussing how a particular discussion, module or textbook reading made you think of something in a new way or reminded you of a contemporary issue or literary work.
or
4.) Write about the way an issue from the discussions, modules or readings connected you to some other aspect of your life.
