Directions: After reading each assigned homework section, write an appropriate response in which you include specifics as well as explanation. These responses need to be reflective of the particular section that is assigned for homework. Since there is more than one chapter assigned, you need to include some content from each chapter (somewhere on the sheet, not necessarily for each response). Finally, since your responses are individual, they should not look like another classmate’s.
