DB10 – READING RESPONSE TO “THE ULTIMATE GRAND CANYON TRAVEL GUIDE”

1. Use the Weava Highlighter to read and annotate “The Ultimate Grand Canyon Travel Guide” (alternate pdf version).
2. Watch Blending Quotations (a.k.a. ways to avoid dropped quotations) above (web handout).
3. Use the Reading Response Instructions and the Example Reading Response to respond to “The Ultimate Grand Canyon Travel Guide” in DB10 – Reading Response.

• For Part 1, the paragraph study, focus more on HOW the author put the paragraph together, and less on WHAT they’re saying.
• So talk more what you can learn from them about how to write your own paragraphs — on any subject — and not at all about the information in the paragraph.
• For Part 2, follow all the instructions for the quotation, paraphrase, and summary sentences exactly.
• If it says to use a signal phrase and contextualize a paraphrase, then do that.
• And so on. Refer to the instructions as you work.
• If there is any plagiarism in DB10 — accidental or otherwise — you will receive a zero.
• For Part 3, work to develop your OWN ideas in your response paragraph instead of just talking about what the source says. I know it’s hard. But it’s the secret weapon for excelling in college writing.
• I am NOT looking for a summary here.
• I am looking for your own idea in a topic sentence, a quotation used as evidence, and commentary that explains how the evidence supports your topic sentence claim.
• For Part 4, read the instructions.
• I attached an example of another student’s work down below.
