We are moving from writing summaries (to demonstrate comprehension) to writing paragraphs to demonstrate “reason”. This week we will develop our analytical, evaluative, and persuasive writing skills through the short answer response. We will work on this skill because as you move beyond freshman-level writing, you will have more short answer response exams.

We will explore the structure and methods for writing short answer responses.
