ENGL328 Short Papers
All SPs must be one page typed and single-spaced with one-inch margins and a standard, easily readable typeface (appr. 300-500 words; do not exceed one page). SPs must explicitly address the following
- What is the assigned reading attempting to accomplish? Why? How does it accomplish this? (grasp of the whole)
- What is one point-at-able moment of curiosity, intrigue, or confusion? "Point-at-able" means you can locate it on a particlar page. Refer to it with direct quotation and a page or paragraph number. (localized click)
- How, specifically, does this reading resonate for you with something you are working on or through currently? (application)

Arrange to have access to a printed or electronic copy in class because our discussions will focus on this written work for a portion of the class session.
