The name of the book is “Major Themes For Modern Writers” By Harvey S. Wiener
Please???dont copy any summary on the website, all essay will pose on the “turn it in”system.
You will complete several reading journals of 450 revised, edited words in which you will record your critical thinking about the texts. No late reading journals accepted—NO exceptions.
The reading journals for this class consist of two parts: summary and response. The summary is the academic exercise. It tells you and your reader how well you understand the original text. The response, on the other hand, allows you some freedom. Ultimately, I need to see you connect with the text in a specific way. Focus on a section of the original, an idea, etc. Respond in any way you like, as long as your main focus is on the text.
The summary should be roughly between ¼ and ½ of the total length of the journal. The two parts of this assignment (summary and response) need to be separate. It should be obvious to your reader where one stops and the next begins. You may label the two parts of each journal, if you like. You must meet the required number of words (450) to earn a passing grade (each journal is worth up to 10 points). I recommend keeping the length between 450-500 words. Going much beyond this length turns this assignment into a very different task. I want you to focus on being concise, and that can involve the often-difficult task of excluding and omitting unnecessary material. For those who struggle to meet the minimum length, rest assured, it will get easier. One comment I often hear from my 110 students (starting about halfway through the semester) is that they are surprised how easily they can generate a decent amount of writing fairly efficiently. It’s amazing what a little practice can do.
Have some fun. Keep in mind: you are writing for an audience. The more interested you are in what you write, the more interesting your writing will be.
Directions for the reading journal:
Summary:
1. The summary needs to be concise (exclude details, examples, specifics).
2. The summary needs to be accurate in conveying the writer’s main points.
3. The summary needs to remain objective (exclude opinion, interpretation,
analysis).
4. The first sentence of the summary needs to contain the writer’s full name, the title of the text, and the writer’s thesis statement (in your own words).
5. The summary should be written in your own words (exclude quotations).
6. The page numbers of the text need to be listed in parentheses at the end of the summary (followed by a period).
Response:
1. The response should demonstrate your critical thinking about the text.
2. The response should include quotations from the text in MLA format.
Overall:
1. The journal needs to meet the required length to earn a passing grade: 450 words.
2. The journal needs to focus on one of the texts assigned for this time period.
3. The journal needs to be polished—proofread and edited.
