Writing Task Three, continued

What to do when writing Task Three:

  • Balance your opinion with a logical argument.
  • Summarize the text.
  • State your opinion about the reading.
  • Feel free to agree or disagree with the reading.
  • Carefully choose what excerpts from the texts you will quote in your paper.
  • React honestly.
What not to do when writing Task Three:
  • Make the paper entirely a personal story.
  • Try and respond to every point the author makes.
  • Let your opinion dominate the paper. It is an academic paper with a well-reasoned process.
  • Be afraid to disagree with your readings.
  • Write an emotional response.
  • Ignore the pre-writing process.
