For each CIR you will research a current issue. Each CIR should be on a different
topic and should vary from local news to world news.
1. Begin your CIR by properly introducing the topic, the name of the article and
it’s author or editor
2. Explain what sparked your interest in this particular topic
3. Respond to the issue – here you can discuss how you feel, offer solutions,
validate the issue or problem, expand on frustrations, etc.
Keep in mind that response papers are informal records of your thoughts,
impressions and reactions; therefore writing a complete summary of the issue is not acceptable. Being right is irrelevant: there are no right or wrong responses. What I want is your thoughtful engagements with these current issues, happening now, today. Requirements
· Length: at least one FULL page, please not more than 1 ½
· you must include a works cited page and provide in-‐text citation if you incorporate quotes. Failure to do either of these is a form of plagiarism and will result in an automatic zero
· You ARE allowed to use first and second person references (“I” and “you”)
· Follow ALL MLA guidelines
· Title – should be CIR #1, CIR#2, CIR#3, and so forth
Please refer to your Writers Reference textbooks or MLA guidance upload on D2L
for more help on formatting.
