How to do a response paper

How to Do A Response Paper

1. Write a summary, 1 to 2 sentence overview of the entire article. Write complete sentences. Use author's first and last name and name of article.

2. Write 3 key points or more. Look over what you underlined while reading, and your notes in the margin. This should help you distill the main ideas of the author before you start writing a response.

3. Write your response. This should be at least a paragraph long, about 5 to 7 sentences. You may write more. The more you write now, the better prepared you will be to begin to write your essay.
