Please consider looking at this Reading Response post by Zhao Lun from 2 weeks ago. It is an excellent example of how a Reading Response should look and sound like:
24 newspaper Response: Date: May 2nd, 2013
He has put the date. Please also include the title of the article you read.
Retell:
Explains or summarizes what the article is about.
3
men were charged of interfering in the Boston bombing, they stated they
had hid fireworks in a suspect's backpack during the bombing. People
say the "trio" swiftly covered for his friend from the FBI, they leaked
some pictures of the suspects.
Relate:
Zhao Lun makes a connection with the article and offers some insightful ideas and connections to things he has read or heard about before.
It makes me
feel sick to know United States makes war and not truce, If united
States had stood down and signed a peace treaty, they might of saved
themselves some time to fix the poverty, homeless, and to fix up the
places that has been broken down, but instead of aiding their homes,
their just making it even worse.
Reflect:
This section reads very similar to the one he wrote before and allows him some more time to make connections.
I have
nothing to reflect on this, but to say that there are other bombings
that were even more devastating like the Afghan Wedding Party bombing,
30 people were killed in the bombing, and it wasn't even given attention
like the Boston bombing, I'm not saying that the Boston Bombing wasn't
big, but I think they should give more attention to other bombings too.
