Read & Respond Instructions

Here's a quick guide for how to respond to the Weekly Read & Respond assignments.

Links are generally posted on Sunday nights and students have a week in which to read the material and post  their responses.

Responses should be AT LEAST one extensive paragraph (5-8 sentences) per article/link AND use text-based evidence (quotes, paraphrasing, etc.) to support each position. You should also read what other students are saying and respond to their thoughts with constructive words of your own. You can agree, disagree, and/or simply point out something you found interesting from another student response.

To add your responses, follow the following steps:

  1. Click on the COMMENT space at the end of the blog post. (A blank "Post a Comment" box should open up.) 
  2. Type your response in the comment box (or cut and paste it from your email or a Word doc)
  3. Choose "Student/URL" from the "Comment as" section when you are ready to submit your writing. 
  4. Type your First and Last Name (no URL is needed) and hit "Continue." 
  5. Click on the PUBLISH button, prove you're not a robot, and hit Publish again. 

Your comments will be posted once I read them and approve them for the site. (Comments will be posted within 3 days of receipt.) You should see a message stating that your comment has been submitted and will be posted once it is approved. (If you do not see this message, most likely your response has not gone through. This is why I suggest that you type your responses in an email or a Word doc-- so that you have them as a back up and can at least email it to me before the deadline so as not to lose credit.)

Happy reading, thinking, and communicating!!!

    Article 4

    I believe the the commercials meat there purpose, by the reason the i believe the by them trying to catch the hears of viewers its a better idea then to get their laughs because they are having fun with the game and maybe a silly little laugh will not get their attention. in the other hand if they target their harts it would catch their attention even thought the commercial not always make sense. Also the actual game gets viewers exited and to any football fans who enjoy viewing football won’t easily get exited with anything else. one of the commercials the target it the heart and its a great example is the “Nation Wide” commercial.

  2. Article 2

    I Feel As if this should not be taken lightly because if it was vice versa this whole situation would have been dragged forever....Just because there in a fraternity that is somewhat legendary and just because they may be in the high class of people does not mean that just an apology should get them off the hook like that especially with everything else going on in the world and plus in some states where racism still occurs.

  3. Article 3

    I Think the OU President was not wrong for taking the Actions he did in closing that house and making the people pack their bags and leave because if he was to just let them dye down and try and forget about it who knows what that fraternity could have done next and who knows what anybody on campus who took this personal would have done next because now-a-days people don't think before they do.....they just do it with no type of remorse and then wanna feel bad about it and that's not cool nor does it make it right
