reaction paper?

Question

i have to write a reaction paper for intro to phych? any pointers?
few details:
these papers are based on an article, and im told to relate the article to my life/ pick apart the article/ say what should be further done, ect.
and it cannot be a summary of the article

has anyone ever done one of these before and knows how to go along doing it?

Answer 1

What I have done is to pick out some key points in the article. Then write about my feelings about those key points. I try to look at the source of my feelings. Additionally you can talk about your observations in day to day life.

Often, the points where you have strong feelings will give you "fuel" to write. You can talk about the points you agree with. You can talk about the points you disagree with, and why you disagree with them.

Once you start writing them, you'll see how easy they come. You just need to be prepared to explore how you feel.

Answer 2

You have to write your opinion about what was said in the article. Do you agree with the artcle? Don't forget to state why you do or you don't, and back up your opinion as much as you can with facts.
