D. Presentation of the Lesson

Teacher’s Activity Learner’s Activity
(The teacher will post the definition of the word
critique and connect it with the motivation activity.)

Can someone read the definition of the word

CRITIQUE.
A critique is a genre of academic writing that
briefly summarizes and critically evaluates a
work piece or concept.
Thank you. Critique also allows you to
reassemble the elements so that your target
audience understands the strengths, flaws, and
highlights of the literary works better.

Critiques can be used to carefully analyze a variety

of works such as:
 Creative works – novels, exhibits,
film, images, poetry, song
 Research – monographs, journal
articles, systematic reviews, theories
 Media – news reports, feature
articles
Writing a critique is a common academic exercise,
often assigned to learners to analyze and evaluate
the works of others. Whether you are writing a
critique of a book, a movie, a short story, or any
other type of literary works.
The song that we had during our listening activity
can be considered as one of the literary works and
can be used for academic exercises in writing a
critique.

There are some important guidelines to follow in

order to write an effective critique.

Kindly, read the first guideline. 1. Have a clear structure.

Thank you.
The first step in writing a successful critique is to
have a clear and logical structure. Your critique
should have a clear introduction, a main body, and
a conclusion. These three are the main parts of in
writing a critique.

Can someone please read the things that we need

to include in the introduction?  Name the selection and the name of
the author.
 Explain the context by describing its
genre.
Selections differ on genres. Some
fiction that features the imaginary characters
and series of events and the others are non-
fiction that tells the story of real people and
events.
Thank you.
The introduction should provide some context for
the work being critiqued and state your thesis or
main argument.
How about the main body? Anyone?
The main body briefly summarizes the main
points and objectively describe them.
Thank you. The main body of the critique should
provide evidence to support your argument, and
should be organized into paragraphs that each
address a specific aspect of the work.

I have here some 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?
 Are they effective in portraying the
purpose?
 In what manner was the intention of the
author achieved? Has evidence been
interpreted fairly?
Group and order your ideas into paragraphs. Start
with the broad impressions first and then move into
the details of the technical elements. Discuss the
strengths of the works, and then the weakness.
Provide evidence from the work itself and explain
how this evidence supports your evaluation of the
work.

Then the last one is the conclusion. Can anyone

read what do we include in the conclusion?
 A statement indicating the overall
reaction or assertion of the work.
Nice! The conclusion should summarize your  A summary of the key reasons.
argument and restate your thesis.
I hope everything is clear.
Yes, Ma’am.
Ok, let us continue. The next guideline is focus on
only important details.
It's important to focus on the most important
aspects of the work you are critiquing. This means
that you should avoid discussing minor or trivial
details and instead focus on the key themes, ideas,
and techniques used in the work. One way to
ensure that you are focusing on the most important
aspects of the work is to read it multiple times,
taking notes on the most significant details.

Kindly, read the last one.

A critique is not simply a summary of the work 3. Give opinion or assertion.
being analyzed. It is important to include your own
opinion or assertion about the work.
Can anyone give the definition of opinion or
assertion as we already had the discussion about
this on our previous lessons? Opinion is a view or judgment formed about
something, not necessarily based on fact or
knowledge while assertion is a confident and
 forceful statement of fact or belief.
Correct. Giving your opinion or assertion can be
done by discussing the strengths and weaknesses
of the work and evaluating how well it achieves its
goals. When making assertions, it is important to
provide evidence to support your claims, such as
specific examples from the work.

I also want to share some questions that may help

all of you to compose a critique selection. Let us
read it one by one.
1. Is the title of the selection appropriate and
clear?
2. What is its genre?
3. Is its purpose made clear?
4. What do you think is the author trying to
accomplish with the story? Are these
techniques effective in portraying the purpose?
5. How does the author support his intention?
6. Are all the statements or events relevant?

Kindly look also the critique format that can guide

you on your writing.

To compose an independent critique, only the

important points are needed. How can we
distinguish important points from less important
points?

For you to visualize and understand more our topic

for today, I am going to show you an example of a
story critique of the story that we had on our
previous lesson. Again, what is the title of the
story?
The story of Keesh, Ma’am.

Correct. So now let me show you the example.

 What can you say about the sample?
Does this one follows the guidelines in writing an
effective critique? Yes, Ma’am. It follows the right format to
present it with clear structure. It also focus on
important details so the readers can easily
understand the main points. And it also gives
the opinion or assertion of the writer.
Good job. I believe you already understand our
lesson for today.

E. Generalization
A critique uses a formal, academic writing style and has a clear structure, that is, an
introduction, body and conclusion. However, the body of a critique includes a summary of the
work and a detailed evaluation. The purpose of an evaluation is to gauge the usefulness or
impact of a work in a particular field.

F. Application
The learners will answer the What I Can Do on p. 15

G. Assessment
The learners will answer Assessment on pp. 16- 18.
 H. Assignment
The learners will answer What I have Learned on p. 14.

FICTIONAL TEXT refers to plot, settings, and
characters created from the imagination.
 hone in on important things a character says
and does, and how those words and actions
affect the events of the story
 notice how settings can play an important
role in the story
 determine which events and characters make
the biggest impact on the story as a whole
NON-FICTIONAL TEXT refers to factual stories that
are based on real people and true events.
 determine the main facts, details, and
vocabularies about a topic by noticing text
features such as headings illustrations,
graphs, bold words, photographs, and others
 these text features are often included to draw
the reader’s attention to the most important
information that the author wants to share

 pay attention to a character’s development

overtime and how that development impacts
the outcome of the story

 pay attention to character relationships as

well as problems and solutions

 use all of these important details from the text

to determine major themes from the story

6. The teacher will give a sample of a critique of the story used from the previous lesson, entitled, The
Story of Keesh.
