Quick Reading and Analysis: 2 Sample Responses

The two attached files are successful responses to an assignment very similar to your researched response article. The only real difference is the primary research requirement. Please read through both responses quickly.

Pay attention to:

  • the way the writer formats the document visually,
  • the way the writer cites their sources,
  • the titles of the responses,
  • How and where the writers identify themselves, 
  • the location and tone of the writer’s main claim/position,
  • how the writer structures their claims and evidence,
  • the amount of summary the writer uses from the foundation article and how they introduce and use their other sources,
  • the tone and diction the writer uses–is it formal/academic or is it more accessible to a general audience?
  • Is there any personal writing/narrative included in the text?
