activity. Make copies of both excellent and 
weak writing samples. Have students work 
in small groups to evaluate the samples 
using the Peer Review worksheet on

Writing a Summary and Response 
(page 132)
• Read the instructions. Have students read 
the article on page 281 and write their 
responses to the questions either in class or 
at home. Have them compare answers in 
class. Conduct a discussion of why people 
help each other. Is their motivation similar 
to or different from that of the monkeys in 
the article? 
• Discuss ways of organizing the response 
essay. For example, students could 
summarize the reading in the fi rst 
paragraph. (You may want to review the 
procedures for paraphrasing on page 60 
and summarizing on page 66.) The thesis 
could state whether students think humans 
are similar to or different from monkeys in 
their decision to help others. 
• Go over the proper citation form with 
the class. Then have students write their 
response in class or for homework.
• Collect students’ papers and decide how 
you will mark them.
