Reading Response Essay Guidelines and Marking Schemes
Three times during the semester. you are required to write an essay in response to the week‘s assigned readings.
called “Reading Responses” (about 500-700 words. about 2 double-spaced pages). The reading responses are a place
for you to I) understand and engage the readings. and 2) apply the readings to other contexts. drawing on your own
experience and creativity.
Your essay should answer the assigned questions. drawing on the relevant readings for the week. The set of
questions for the following week’s reading response will be presented at the end of the lecture and posted on
Blackboard. Please pay attention to the clarity of your writing. using full sentences and proper grammar,
punctuation, and spelling.
Although the questions will vary each week specific to that week’s reading contents. they will consist of two
questions:
I. Comprehension question: ability to explain‘ synthesize, and discuss ideas in the reading in your own words
2. Application question: ability to apply the concepts and insights from the readings to other contexts (previous
week‘s readings, real life examples, current events, etc)
Marking Schemes Each reading response essay will be marked on the basis of 10 possible points: 5 points for
