Post one three-paragraph response to the essays found within the reading assignments for this week. Select one from chapters 4, 5, and 6. Use a header before each paragraph identifying the essay and page numbers. Be sure to go into detail and include direct citations from the essays you choose. Please ensure you use APA formatting as not doing so will result in a 20% deduction.
You will get an A if each paragraph has at least 4-5 sentences, your responses to the essays are clear, and you give detailed textual support for your claims. You will get a B if your responses are a bit unclear or there are more expressions of feelings/opinions than specific examples. You will get a C if your responses are not clear, you have very little textual support, your tone borders on the inappropriate, or you have quite a few errors. You will get a D or F if your paragraphs are very short, you contradict yourself, you have no real support, your tone is offensive, or you have so many errors the meaning is not clear.
