Discussion Post: "Reading Response"
A "reading response" asks the reader (you) to examine, explain and defend her/his personal reaction to our course readings. You will be asked to explore why you like or dislike the reading, explain whether you agree or disagree with the author, identify the reading's purpose, and critique the text. There is no right or wrong answer to a reader response. Nonetheless, it is important that you demonstrate an understanding of the reading and clearly explain and support your reactions. Select one of the following articles (all articles are posted on Blackboard) for Reading Response:
• "Why Watts Exploded: How the Ghetto Fought Back"
• "Black Panther Party: 1966-1982".
The response must include a reference list. Using Times New Roman 12 pnt font, double-space, one-inch margins, and APA style of writing and citations.
