Critical Response 1
Select one reading (article, chapter) assigned and develop a two pages Critical Response Paper.
The critical response, alongside some commentary, represents an analysis of another author’s writing. Your paper must contain a critical review of the readings selected. The critical response should be a space for you to react honestly to class material, relate readings to things we have discussed in class or material you have learned elsewhere, and analyze the author’s main points and positionality. The critical response is NOT a summary of the readings. It should be analytical.
Here are some questions that might help you frame your critical responses (you do not need to answer all of these questions in your response):
What is the author’s main point? What evidence does the author use to support their claim, and do you think the evidence is compelling? Why or why not?
Do you agree with the author’s argument? Why or why not? Does the argument challenge your views in any way?
Does this reading relate to anything else we have discussed in class? Does it relate to anything you have learned, read or watched outside of class? How do the concepts here build off of others, and can those concepts be extrapolated to other topics or ideas?
Structuring your essay
The introduction is used to establish your main argument regarding the work analyzed.
The body is focused on your response to the article/chapter selected. The ideas stated should help to develop the main argument presented in the introduction. Remember that you should always apply critical thinking in this kind of essay and be able to back up any statement you make. You could sustain your arguments by providing evidence (examples) or supporting your perspective by referring to other authors. You need to cite at least two readings from the syllabus, even though your response mainly addresses one reading.
Your conclusion should bring all of the points you have made together in a manner that supports your writing’s main argument, as set out in the introduction.
Your references must include at least two readings from the syllabus and should follow the APA style. Make sure only to reference the sources that were cited in the paper.
