Text Reactions and Responses A text response is a style of writing in which you are sharing your reaction to
something. It is an opportunity to let the world know how you feel about something.
A text response by definition is specifically a response to a text you have read but it can
also be a response to a film you have just seen, or a game you have been playing.
Here are the important questions you should ask yourself when writing a reaction/response:
1. How do you feel about what you have read/ saw/ heard?
Did it make you happy, disappointed, enthusiastic, nervous or sad? Why did you
feel that way?
2. Why do you agree or disagree with?
3. Can you identify with the situation?
Have you ever been in the same situation as the main character? Can you relate to
any of his struggles or triumph in the story?​
