Unit 1 Reaction Paper

To help you integrate what you’re learning in this course with your own everyday life, you will write one Reaction Paper for each of the (8) groups of readings

For each group of readings, first complete all readings. Then, write up a Reaction Paper responding to those readings and the material you have learned in class during that Unit by:

• demonstrating engagement with the readings for that Unit (e.g., mentioning key concepts);
• connecting something you have learned from this course during that Unit to something you have observed/experienced in your own everyday life;[1] and
• composing an open-ended question that could guide/lead to further investigation into some issue from that Unit.

As you do the readings and listen to podcasts for this class, monitor for your ‘reactions’ to them:
What impact has course material had on you? What did you think of the material? Did it reveal something to you or teach you something that you had never known or even thought about before? Has it inspired you to be (more) curious about some aspect of your social world?
