Reactions Reactions

I have graded your first two reaction papers. They were really good, all As and Bs. If you are a TA, your graded papers are in your mailbox in Reid, otherwise they will be handed back in class on Tuesday. A few tips for what I would like to see on the reaction papers from here on out:

1. I know the readings are diverse, but try to tie them together a bit in the introduction.
2. Please include a couple of quotations in your reactions, with parenthetical page citations. Example: In J. William T. Young's essay on Expo, he write of the "drunken hoodlums" who spoiled the opening ceremony. (173)
3. Proofread for awkward phrases, repetitive language, and weird formatting. Writing in Word and pasting it into Blogger can cause the latter.
4. Each post should have 1-2 images, with captions and the source.

Finally, starting next week I want everyone to use the time between the Monday noon submission of the reaction posts and Tuesday's class to read at least 2-3 of your classmates' reaction and write a short comment. Mix it up from week to week which blogs you comment on.

Good work!
