Reader Response Essay Format For 8th Grade English
Summary:
Briefly summarize what you think the essay is about: what is the main idea, what is the thesis, what is the author trying to get across, etc.
Positive Elements:
Write about any elements in the essay which you think work well. Be as specific as you can--don't just say "the first four paragraphs are particularly good." Say why the things work for you as a reader.
Constructive Criticism:
Point out the things in the essay that don't work, and explain why. This is the most important part of your reader response. Don't take it lightly.
Using Sources:
Has the author successfully used any sources? Is the original clearly attributed?
