Reader Response Journal for Night

Here are the details for the Reader Response Journal:

Create 5 reader response journal entries in your notebook, one for each reading assignment. You need not have an entry for the first reading assignment.

In the left column of the journal, copy down a significant quote from the night's reading. Then beneath the quote, decide what topic is most important in that quote. Work to reduce the quote down to a single issue. For example, you may decide to discuss one of your quotes as it relates to the role of silence, religion, hope, perseverance, despair, family etc. In the right column of the journal, record your thoughts, feelings, and reactions to the text. Think deeply and work to make connections between what you see in the memoir and what you know about the topic you've identified. The concept behind reader response is to discuss the writing in terms of your own personal experiences.

Final typed assessment: Choose your best entry, revise it and type it up. Turn in your typed journal entry ( Times New Roman, 12 point font, double-spaced) on Monday, April 26th, length should be between one to two pages.
