Outline 

Introduction: you should identify the major issue(s) (one or two issues the most) of the essay(s) and your intellectual reaction to them.

 

Body: you should systematically address your areas of agreement and disagreement with the author(s) giving reasons, facts, and examples. Be specific and detailed. The evidence should be connected to your major issue(s) of discussion. If you are responding to multiple essays, you may compare and contrast the authors based on your major issue. Be sure to cite the page when you are using specific ideas or quotes. Note that your personal beliefs, if they are to be considered valid, must be supported by facts and logic. For example, you may not simply say "The death penalty is wrong." You must provide facts and logic that lead the reader to the inescapable conclusion that the death penalty is wrong. If you cannot back up a statement with facts and logic, leave the statement out of the paper.

 

Conclusion: Summarize your reaction and state your ideas about the significance of the issue, its implications, and future actions for the solution of the problem or issue.
