That is, they should include:
a) a clear introduction that identifies the title and author the readings being reviewed along with an indication of your focus or argument or point;

c) a critical, comparative assessment of the readings’ contribution to the topic under discussion that week;
and
d) 2 or 3 stimulating discussion questions related to the readings.
