Choose one of the following articles (see below) and write a 4-6 page response of the article. Your response should be based on the themes, theories, and/or principles identified in the article. Throughout your response, you should also incorporate themes, theories, and/or principles that were identified in the course textbook as well. You may also use outside resources (websites, books, journal articles, personal communication, newspaper stories, personal experiences, etc.) but it is not required. If included, you should keep your primary focus of the paper on the article you are addressing.
Your response paper should be a concise summary plus critical reaction to the article and other text you incorporate. It is the intellectual response to what you have read. You can either focus on the broad questions and themes of the article or choose to focus on one or more (or a few) specific questions found in the text.
