Day 10: Summary Critique Writing

You will be able to:
-Understand the components and format of a summary-critique essay
-State your own positions in response to an academic source following the format of a summary-critique essay

We will begin by finishing up the summarizing activity from the previous class. The powerpoint on summarizing can be found HERE.

Today's lesson will be about writing the summary critique. You can follow along on THIS POWERPOINT.

Task 1: Forming Opinions
You will have 30 Seconds to look at each of the following pictures. During that 30 seconds, briefly write down your opinion about the picture.

Task 2: Supporting Opinions
In small groups/partners, pick one of the images to critique. Write down:
-What you think the author’s purpose was?
-Did the author succeed in this purpose? Why or why not?
-Your reaction to this piece
-A justification for your reaction

Task 3: Concessive Contrast
You will work in groups to complete the CONCESSIVE CONTRAST WORKSHEET.

Task 4: Critiquing the Article
Read the SUMMARY CRITIQUE ARTICLE. In small groups, decide whether you want to prepare a positive review, negative review, or a mixed review then develop critique of the article. You will then present your critique to the class. Each member should present a critique of one part of the article. Each critique should consist of two parts: opinion and support for that opinion.
