NO PLAGIARISM!!

***Three personal response papers must be completed outlining your personal response to all the assigned reading(s) in a given week. These papers are your opportunity to demonstrate active reading skills and effective writing skills at the college level. That means they should include a thesis and strong paragraph development. The thesis should include your overall personal response. These papers should NOT be a summary or analysis of the reading for its own sake. The point of these papers is for students to relate readings to themselves at a personal level. Assume your reader has read all the pieces and get right to the work of sharing your personal response. Don’t just indicate agreement or disagreement and don’t identify a response (surprise or interested). You need to develop your ideas to express your response fully. First-person is required in this assignment.**
