English 100: Reading Response Guidelines
Please read each chapter as it is assigned, so that you can keep up with class discussions without falling behind. You may ALWAYS feel free to read ahead! RR#4 is due Monday, April 22nd the start of class.
Students should write at least three (3) pages in response to these questions (typed, double-spaced, MLA style); as long as the total RR is at least 3 pages, each individual question’s response length doesn’t matter. Please refer to the Hacker handbook if you have any style questions, but your main focus should be on content.
Responses must carefully consider the question(s) assigned while reflecting your reading comprehension and critical thinking skills, and ability to quote directly from the text using proper MLA style and a works cited page. Let me know if you have any questions!
READING RESPONSE #4: Argument and Persuasion
For each essay of the assigned reading (not including the “Opposing Viewpoints”, unless you’d like to use them for your own benefit), you need to answer the questions on page 472 of The Prose Reader:
Reading Argument/Persuasion Essays
* What is the author’s main assertion or thesis? * What ideas do you agree with? * What ideas do you disagree with? * What appeals does the author use?
Additionally, you must choose one (1) question from the two (2) options offered from the end of each text. The reading question selections are listed below:
Seaman, Barrett. “How Bingeing Became the New College Sport.” Question #2 or #6 on page 492
Grossman, Dave. “We Are Training Our Kids to Kill.” Question # 8 or #15 on pages 504-505
Severson, Kim. “I’m Not Willing to Settle for Crumbs.” Question #4 or #6 on page 509
Please see me if you need any help! Good
