The Lukens Response Papers are your opportunity to analyze and synthesize what you hear, read and learn from the Lukens text and the assigned classroom novels. You will be using the Lukens as a lens through which you see the classroom novels. Something all 4 papers have in common is that each should be 2-3 very concise pages long, follow standard rules of grammar and composition, and include a short synopsis and detailed evaluation of the novel read. Use APA or MLA formatting. Line spacing is up to you as long as you accomplish the task at hand! Each of the 4 papers is worth 75 points for a total of 300 points toward your final grade. All papers will include a short synopsis and a detailed evaluation. (See below) Synopsis (no more than one short paragraph) ? Summary of the Plot ? Major characters introduced ?
