You may be asked to write a reaction paper in response to reading a book, watching a film, or examining a work of art. This reaction (or response) paper should contain a mix of your own analysis and a summary of your impressions and opinions.
Reaction papers are typically written in the first person and should, therefore, include expressions as "I think" and "I believe" in the text.
The reaction paper can challenge students who prefer to work with clear guidelines and precise expectations. It may help some students to think of a reaction paper as a letter to a friend--a descriptive letter that contains an introduction to the subject (book, poem, or other work) and all your honest thoughts and impressions about it.
Some students will benefit from reading an example of a reaction paper.
