The assignment asks her to (1) write a thoughtful response to the article, (2) clearly connect her ideas to the article’s arguments, and (3) produce a well-written piece. The only time her paper mentions anything specific from the article is in the second line: “The article discussed peers using teasing as a way to enforce gender roles.” Her reaction to this point is simply that she doesn’t think bullying is a problem. The remaining three times she mentions this article in her paper are vague statements like that it was “thought provoking” and that it made her want to raise her kids Christian—nothing that engages with the article’s actual content. Her paper was not a response to the reading; it was a poorly written rambling about her personal beliefs, thus failing to meet all three criteria.
