Determine which part of Greek life you want to learn and write about. If you read a piece of Greek literature, cover it thoroughly for full comprehension. If you watch a Greek film, write down notes and your immediate reactions that you can write about later in your paper.
Ask yourself key questions about the material and write down your answers. For example, what was your opinion on the material? How did it make you feel? What did you see that caused a reaction? What can you conclude about that aspect of Greek life? Your answers to these questions will help you form your paper.
Organize your notes to form your paper. Compose your introduction with a brief explanation of the material you will cover in your paper. Continue by writing your reaction, which will be your thesis statement. In the body of your paper, explain the reason for your reaction. Compare the material's overall theme with your own thoughts. For example, your reaction paper could give your reaction to the differences between Greek dining habits and dining habits today.
Begin each body paragraph by describing the material presented. Follow this with your own thoughts and beliefs on what the material covers. Use supporting evidence such as quotes from the material to emphasize your reaction and explain why you feel that way. For instance, if you're writing about one of the Greek laws that you disagree with, you could explain your reaction and why you disagree.
Start your conclusion paragraph by restating your thesis. Summarize the explanation of your reaction. Explain how you were affected by learning the material.
