to articulate in your reaction paper.
3. Describe your point first.
4. Justify why you think that way.
5. Provide one or two real-world example(s).
Desirable Formats
1. Follow steps 3 - 5 to make each point clearly.
2. After you finish articulating all the points, have
a conclusive statement at the end.
3. Limit your quantity to 1 page.
4. Please proofread your reaction paper carefully
to avoid any grammatical mistakes or typos.
5. Submit on the specified date and time.
What Not To Do
1. Just summarize what you read (I want to

summary).
2. No evidence to back up your point (e.g. no
examples)
3. Provide random examples without making
careful effort to relate to your point.
