Reflective Response Guidelines ENG 151, Page 7 The following guidelines should be used for all of your Reflective Response assignments. You will write three Reflective Responses worth 30 points each. General Instructions: Read the relevant literary works as assigned on the course schedule. Then, choose one question to answer fully in a 1 ½ page short essay. Your goal is to create a single, well-crafted reflection on the assigned question. If the question contains multiple parts, use transitions to shift gracefully from one idea to the next. Each Reflective Response should contain a specific, arguable thesis statement in your first paragraph. This thesis statement should explain the main idea of your essay, which should be related to the question asked on the response sheet. You will need to develop your thesis with body paragraphs that contain specific evidence and analysis. You will also need to integrate quotations gracefully into your own sentences, so use these Reflective Responses to practice incorporating quotations in new and different ways. Format: � Begin each response with the four-line MLA heading. Center your title and be sure to include a header. � Each response should be typed and double-spaced. Use Times New Roman, 12 point font. � Try to identify the title and author of the work you are responding to in the first few sentences of your response. Citations: � All responses must contain in-text (parenthetical) citations. � Cite a short story by its author and the page number from out textbook, a poem by its poet and line number(s), and a play by its playwright and then the act, scene, and speech (or line) number. � No Works Cited page is required. � No outside sources are required. Due Date: � All Reflective Response essays are due at the beginning of each class on the date assigned. You can find individual due dates on the course schedule. � Late essays will be accepted for half credit. SAMPLE Several examples of student responses are located throughout your textbook.
