Reading Response

George Huppert, After the Black Death (Second Edition), Indiana University Press, 1998 ISBN: 0-253-21180-8; ISBN-13: 978-0-253-21180-4, paperback.

Read: Huppert, Preface, Chapters 1 and II

Assignment: A reading response about the chapters assigned for Huppert.

The first part of the reading response should be a paragraph giving an overall summary of the reading. This should show that you have done the reading — all of it — and know what its main ideas are. The rest (the majority of the response) is a personal intellectual record of thoughts generated by the reading. Feel free to take your ideas to the edge of possibility, to link them to material presented earlier in the course or material from other courses. For example, you might relate your reading about peasant life to other history courses (economic history, American rural history) or to contemporary issues (migrant labor). You might explore internal contradictions in a writer’s argument or two opposing views and your own reaction to those views. Develop arguments. Ask questions. When you write, focus on one or two themes or topics.
