- Introduction: The length of an introduction is usually one paragraph for a journal article review and two or three paragraphs for a longer book review. Include a few opening sentences that announce the author(s) and the title and briefly explain the topic of the text. Present the aim of the text and summarise the main findings or key arguments. Conclude the introduction with a brief statement of your evaluation of the text. This can be a positive or negative evaluation or, as is usually the case, a mixed response.
- Summary: Present a summary of the key points and a limited number of examples. You can also briefly explain the author's purpose/intentions throughout the text, and you may briefly describe how the text is organized. The summary should only make up about a third of the critical review.
- Critique: The critique should be a balanced discussion and evaluation of the text's strengths, weaknesses, and notable features. Remember to base your discussion on specific criteria. Good reviews also include other sources to support your evaluation (remember to reference).
You can choose how to sequence your critique. Here are some examples to get you started:
- The most important to least important conclusions you make about the text.
- If your critique is more positive than negative, present the negative points first and the positive last.
- If your critique is more negative than positive, present the positive points first and the negative last.
- If there are both strengths and weaknesses for each criterion you use, you need to decide overall what your judgment is. For example, you may want to comment on a key idea in the text and have positive and negative comments. You could begin by stating what is good about the idea and then concede and explain how it is limited in some way. While this example shows a mixed evaluation, you are probably more negative than positive overall.
- In long reviews, you can address each criterion you choose in a paragraph, including negative and positive points. For very short critical reviews (one page or less) where your comments will be briefer, include a paragraph of positive aspects and another of negative.
- You can also include recommendations for improving the text regarding ideas and research approaches; theories or frameworks can also be included in the critique section.
- Conclusion: This is usually a very short paragraph.
- Restate your overall opinion of the text.
- Briefly present recommendations.
- Further qualifications or an explanation of your judgment can be included if necessary. This can help your critique sound fair and reasonable.
