RRRR Sequence

Starting with the second week's readings, EL236 will begin following the 4R reading response sequence.

  • Read any assigned text
  • React by posting to your own blog, at least 24 hours before class starts, an agenda item -- a brief quotation and a statement of what you would talk about if called on in class. (You don't actually have to be finished with the readings when you post your agenda item.)
  • Respond by posting 2-4 comments on your classmates' agenda items, before class time.
  • Reflect by writing a half-page response paper that mentions by name a classmate whose agenda item helped you to see something new about the day's readings. (I encourage you to post your reflection on your blog, and link to the agenda item you found inspiring; but you may instead just bring the agenda item as a printed page.)
If you have more than one assigned reading for a given day, I am asking for more than one agenda item, more than one set of comments, and more than one reflection paper.

I have not been to this section of the course website before today, so should we have been writing reflections to all of our assigned texts Dr. Jerz? I'm sorry that I did not look here or ask this sooner.

Yes, Jed, that is part of the reading assignment, but Castro is a how-to book and thus there really isn't an argument to respond to or reflect on. This part of the course will become more important when we start reading books that contain a more definite, deliberate point of view.
