Answer each of these criteria to earn the twenty (20) points available for the assignment:

1. “Personal Reflection”: Draw a connection between the reading selection and your personal experiences, ideas, and observations in three to five sentences.
2. “Remarkable Quotes”: Choose a quote from the reading selection that you found remarkable. Then tell us, using SWAGG, why you choose it in particular; why did it stand out to you? Give us some detail about how this quote exemplifies a point you’d like to make; explain how this quote connects to broader analysis and application. Remember to cite your source using parenthetical documentation (MLA-style in-text citations).
3. “Follow-up Question”: Ask the author follow-up questions that occurred to you after reading the selection.
4. “Thesis Statement”: Craft a one- or two-sentence thesis statement in response to the text and its topic; remember to integrate the relevance to your audience into your thesis.
5. “Research Questions / Keywords”: Discuss what you would research next in response to the information offered in the text; how would you pursue more insight and information on the concepts and themes presented in this text? Share keywords you would search and ideas you’d like to further pursue.
