The Weekly Response Paper
Each week, you will be asked to write a short (3--5 paragraph) paper responding to a "text"--which could be a poem or a newspaper story, but could also be a picture, a short quote, or even a dictionary definition of a word. Whatever you write, it should be something you find interesting, and, ideally, other students would like to read, too.
Remember to use paragraph breaks, to cite your source, and to space both rough drafts and final drafts on EVERY OTHER LINE. Good luck!
