What is A Critical Response?

so...some of you are struggling with understanding what a critical response is and that is completely understandable. throughout college, instructors are going to expect you to know how to do things that you have never done before. part of becoming a great student and growing up, in general, is knowing when to ask questions and when to try to figure out how to do things on your own. it's a tough balance.

as a teacher, i like to be very clear about what i expect from you all. so if you're ever in doubt about an assignment, you should never hesitate to ask me for more detail. so here is an excellent outline of instructions on how to write a critical response.

click here ! if you follow these instructions, you should have a GREAT response.

also, don't forget that the critical response needs to have two things:
1. an AMAZING first sentence.
2. an argument with a naysayer (look at the section on this topic in they say, i say for suggestions)

good luck! i'm looking forward to reading your thoughts on modern romance & jonathan franzen :)
