In response to a text assigned by your instructor, write a summary/strong response essay that incorporates a summary of the article. Your essay should be 5 paragraphs in length, about two to three pages: Introduction, Summary of the article, 1 body paragraph in response, 2 body paragraph in response, and conclusion. It should also include a Works Cited page with the article you choose from the list in Mindtap. In your strong response to that reading, speak back to its author from your own critical thinking, personal experience, and values. As you work with ideas from the text, remember to use attributive tags, quotation marks for any quoted passages, and MLA documentation to distinguish your own points about the text from the author’s ideas and language.
