An introduction, a body, and a conclusion comprise a reaction or response paper. In one or two paragraphs, the introduction should include all of the essential information. Sentence 1: Give the title, author, and publication you read in this sentence. Sentence 2: Explain how and why this article responds to the issue at hand. Use relevant examples from the text to support your explanation. In the body of the paper, express your understanding of the issue by analyzing it and explaining its consequences. Be sure to use specific details from the article and not just general statements about what was covered in the piece. Also, be sure to include your own ideas and opinions about the topic, as well as relevant references from the text. Finally, in the conclusion, restate the main idea of the reaction paper and explain how it applies to your own experience or situation. To save time, there are templates available for common reactions papers. You can find several pre-made responses here: https://commons.pacificu.edu/reactions/. As you write your reaction paper, follow these five steps: 1. Introduction. State the issue that prompted you to write about it. Note any relevant facts or trends that may help explain the issue's importance. 2. Analysis.
