Sections 1 - 15
Essay 2 Critique
Select one of the articles*, read it carefully and then critique it in the form of an academic essay.
Please remember that the purpose of the critique is to analyze & interpret a text in terms of its strengths & weaknesses and to respond to the writer’s views – keeping in mind the rhetorical situation i.e. purpose, audience & context of the text to be critiqued.
A critique is not the same as criticism therefore it does not necessarily have to be negative.
