Task
Using the “How to Engage the Readings” handout for instruction, construct a convey-analyze response (600-word [+/- 10%]) to readings/viewings:
“Green Dreams: Religious Cosmologies and Environmental Commitments,” by Stephen Scharper, pp. 35-40, in For Earth’s Sake.
Format
12pt. black font (can be double or single spaced)
600 words [+/- 10%]
Uploaded as a .pdf, .doc, or .docx file through Quercus
No cover page needed, but make sure to clearly indicate in the title which reading you are responding to.
Referencing
Avoid citing from an outside source. The intention in this exercise is for you to engage our readings deeply. However, if citing an outside source is vital to your argument, include an in-text citation and bibliographic entry in a standard referencing style of your choice (e.g. APA, Chicago, MLA, etc.). When citing readings/videos from our course, it should still be clear to us which course reading/video you are referring to (i.e.: the first time you mention the reading, you might say “As Carson mentions in ‘An Obligation to Endure’…. “).
Avoid using quotes. However, if you cite a direct quotation from one of the course readings (i.e.: you are using the author’s exact words), make sure to put it in quotation marks. Put the page number where the quotation was found in brackets after the direct quotation (i.e.: In his song “Old MacDonald Had a Farm”, Old MacDonald states “I had a farm e-i-e-i-o” (p. 10)).
