Description of how to write a response paper:
Prewriting a response paper:
As you read, highlight significant points in the book or article. At the end of each chapter or section, summarize in your own words the main points made and what you think about them. Take note as you read of any significant ways in which you agree or disagree with the author.
Keep a running list of these. When you have finished the book or the academic paper, reflect on its significance. Is this an important book or contribution? Why or why not? What are its implications for the subject at hand? Who else should be reading this book or paper? By the
time you have finished the book/article, you should have many pages of notes from which to work.
Writing the response paper:
Once you have read the book or paper well and taken notes, review your notes carefully. Can you identify patterns in your notes? What you are looking for is a major theme. Since you can't possibly respond to every idea in the book/paper, you will have to be selective here and
choose the most important and most interesting ideas to which you will respond.
Also point out ways in which the book:
• needs challenging or qualifying
• is contradictory, ambiguous or, unclear
• doesn't address some important problem or issue
• is impractical or otherwise irrelevant
• overly simplifies the issues
• misses one or more critical points
• fails to answer a mystery, puzzle, or question
• is contradicted by other authors or theories you have read
