Abstract
AbstractIn this article, the author describes utilizing Instagram as a reading response activity in an undergraduate English course to increase student engagement with challenging texts. Using a shared class account, students created a menu of prompts that they then chose from to create posts after reading fictional, theoretical, and philosophical texts; students’ choices of prompts are analyzed as well as their reflections on the activity as a whole. Lastly, the author shares recommendations for other educators who want to bring in social media, including, but not limited to, Instagram, as a reading response activity into their classrooms.
