Reading Response – Group 9
Introduce and define one key concept* from each of this week’s 3 readings (3 concepts total) and then explain which one you find to be most interesting, compelling, or useful. What does this concept help us to understand about patterns of urban segregation, and why is that important?
_
* note: a concept is a key word or short phrase that captures a larger theory or process. For example, “commodification” is a concept denoting the complicated sociological theory that suggests objects become valued only according to their being bought or sold, rather than the labor that produces them or the uses they allow.

As a reminder, this is a 300-word critical essay about the assigned materials. It should not be summarize; it should put the materials into conversation. Grades will be based on these criteria:
- Makes direct and accurate references to the prompt and all readings/films
- Synthesizes and analyzes, not only summarizes
- Written thoughtfully and carefully with a clear beginning, middle, & end (remember to proofread before submitting!)
- Note that responses should include only your original prose. AI-generated sentences or lengthy quotes from the readings are not acceptable
