Guidelines For Reaction Papers

A reaction paper states your opinion on the story, topic or in the classroom. State an opinion and then give three or more reasons to support your opinion. ( I found the story of____ on ____ extremely boring, exciting, enlightening, interesting, useful etc. Choose one or come up with your own).

If you only need a three paragraph paper:
1.use the first paragraph for the introduction,
2.the middle paragraph for your reasons, and
3.the last paragraph for the summary.

If you need a five paragraph paper:
1.Use the first for introduction,
2.use the next three paragraphs for reasons ( one per paragraph), and
3.the final paragraph for a summary.



Hope this gets you started.
