Reaction papers should begin with a BRIEF SUMMARY of the 3 readings in question. Provide just enough information to show that you understand the purpose of the readings and the main arguments being conveyed (probably just 3-4 sentences per reading). Next, offer an extended comment on the readings. Your REACTIONS may include (but are not limited to) an evaluation or criticism of arguments found in the readings, suggestions for extending or modifying these arguments, an application of ideas found in the reading to analyze a specific issue of interest to you, or reflections on personal experiences touched on by the readings. Or simply ask yourself: What do you find to be most interesting, important, puzzling, infuriating, fundamental, etc., about the readings? Include citations, page numbers, the names of authors, etc., when appropriate. 1 page per reading.
