What is a critique?
CRITIQUE
? It is a genre of academic writing that briefly summarizes and
critically evaluates a work or concept.
? Critiques can be used to carefully analyze a variety of works
such as:
? Creative works ¨C novels, exhibits, film, images, poetry
? Research ¨C monographs, journal articles, systematic reviews,
theories
? Media ¨C news reports, feature articles
Critique writing employs a formal, academic
writing style and has a clear structure, that
is, an introduction, body and conclusion.
Body work & detailed
evaluation
WHY DO WE WRITE CRITIQUES?
? Help students to enhance their knowledge of the work¡¯s
subject area or related works.
? Provide students an understanding of the work¡¯s
purpose, intended audience, development of argument,
structure of evidence or creative style.
HOW IS A CRITIQUEWRITTEN?
? Make sure to have a close reading of the literary piece
to be critiqued.
? Make notes on key parts of the work.
? Develop an understanding of the main argument or
purpose being expressed in the work.
? Consider how the work relates to a broader issue or
context.
PARTS OF A
CRITIQUE
1. INTRODUCTION
¡ñ Name the work being reviewed as well as the date it
was created and the name of the author/creator.
¡ñ Describe the main argument or purpose of the work.
¡ñ Explain the context in which the work was created.
¡ñ Have a concluding sentence that signposts what your
evaluation of the work will be.
PARTS OF A
CRITIQUE
11. SUMMARY
Briefly summarize the main points and
objectively describe how the creator
portrays these by using techniques, styles,
media, characters, or symbols.
PARTS OF A
CRITIQUE
11I. CRITICAL EVALUATION
Read and study the selection to be
critiqued and form an opinion about it.
Criteria are systems or standards for
evaluation, rules or tests you can utilize
to make your judgment.
? Examples of key critical questions that could help your assessment include:
? Is the work presented objectively or subjectively?
? What are the aims of the work?Were the aims achieved?
? What techniques or styles were used in the work? Are they effective in portraying
the purpose?
? What assumptions underlie the work? Do they affect its validity?
? What types of evidence or persuasion are used? Has evidence been interpreted
fairly?
? How is the work structured? Does it favor a particular interpretation or point of
view? Is it effective?
? Does the work enhance understanding of key ideas or theories? Does the work
engage (or fail to engage) with key concepts or other works in its discipline?
CRITICAL QUESTIONS
This evaluation is written in formal academic style and logically presented.
1. Group and order your ideas into paragraphs.
2. Start with the broad impressions first and then move into the details of the
technical elements.
For shorter critiques, discuss the strengths of the works, and then the
weaknesses.
In longer critiques, discuss the positive and negative of each key critical question
in individual paragraphs.
To support the evaluation:
? provide evidence from the work itself, such as a quote or example
? cite evidence from related sources.
PARTS OF A
CRITIQUE
1V. CONCLUSION
This is usually a very brief paragraph, which includes:
¡ñ A statement indicating the overall evaluation of the
work
¡ñ A summary of the key reasons identified during the
critical evaluation, why this evaluation was formed.
¡ñ In some circumstances, recommendations for
improvement on the work may be appropriate.
