I would suggest that you write 2-3 paragraphs for your answer (though you can wrote more if youd like). The first paragraph should explain the material. The second paragraph should state your own opinion about it and give some good reason for your opinion.
You will be graded on the basis of two considerations: First, did you understand, and could you clearly explain, in detail and in your own words, the material that was presented to you in the readings? You will lose points if you pretty much just re-state the notes. Second, did you express an opinion and give a reason for your opinion? Was your reason just a repetition of the ideas that I presented to you in the lecture or in the notes? Was it just an unsupported assertion? Or was it an original idea? You will lose points if I cannot find an original idea in your paper, or if you state an idea but do not give any reason for it.
