SRR stands for Summarize, Respond, and Reflect. After reading the passage carefully, noting key

points/arguments, etc. compose a one-page (~300 to 400 word) paper divided into three distinct

paragraphs, as follows:

a) Summarize: the first paragraph succinctly summarizes the passage, focusing on what you

understand to be the key points that the author is making.

b) Respond: one paragraph in which you respond to the reading (i.e., agreeing or disagreeing with

the author on one or more points; suggesting points that the author might have under- or over-

emphasized; etc.)

c) Reflect: one paragraph in which you describe your personal response to the passage. Consider for

instance how this passage has affected your own life or educational perspective.

The initial paragraph is often the longest and contains much detail, whereas the second paragraph

often requires more thought and reflection. The final paragraph concludes your examination of the

material with a personal note.

Please post only text (as opposed to a file). It is strongly recommended to put together your SRR in a

word processor (with auto-save) and then simply cut and paste to the discussion forum.
