SELECTING AN ESSAY AND STARTING THE CRITIQUE
1. Choose one of the essays in the list above. Keep in mind the essay’s content, form, and
style. Think about the author’s their purpose in writing, the publication in which the
article appeared, and their intended audience.
2. Using this assignment’s prewriting worksheet, begin drafting your own critique of the article,
using the outline given on p. 4 of this assignment.
ELEMENTS OF A CRITIQUE
The following elements of the textual critique are required in order to pass the essay.
1. INTRODUCTION: The main purpose of the critique’s introduction is to identify the article
under review and introduce your own original thesis based upon that
review.
Include a lead-in that will build rapport with your audience. Next,
identify the article, including relevant information such as
theauthor’s name, the title of the article, date of publication, and in which
publication the essay appeared.
Also please include the author’s subject, thesis and their intended
audience. Finally, include your thesis, which entails making a
judgment, based on chosen criteria, concerning the
essay’s overall effectiveness or ineffectiveness (not likes/dislikes,
good/bad, moral/immoral, etc).
Your thesis will sound something like this: “Overall the essay is
effective due to its humorous tone that will appeal to most
readers, and its clear thesis makes it easy to follow.”
Keep in mind that essays without a specific thesis or specific criteria
will not pass the assignment.
2. SUMMARY: This section answers the questions, “what idea or subject did the
author write about, what was the essay’s thesis, and what were the
main points of the article?” Summaries must be concise and should
not be more than one-quarter the total page length. Provide
readers with the essentials: subject matter, author’s thesis, main points,
conclusions.
Pro tip: Good summaries make frequent references to the author, use
transitional words often, and don’t rely too heavily on
quotations.
3. ANALYSIS: An analysis allows you to examine the elements that make up the
whole of the essay. In our case, you will think about what
inspired the author to write, what the author hoped to achieve
(what they wanted you to do after reading it), and what writing
criteria the author used to make their points effectively.
Remember, often the author will have more than one motivation,
more than one purpose, and more than one strategy, and your
analysis paragraph should reflect that. Come up with plausible ideas
using the words maybe, possibly, perhaps, or likely.
4. CRITIQUE: The body of the essay. Here, respond in several paragraphs to the
author’s writing by critiquing the global and local elements that
stand out the most. Write about one criterion per paragraph.
It will be helpful to discuss not only your judgment, but also to
include—near the beginning of the paragraph—a discussion or a
specific example (e.g., a quote, paraphrase, description) of that
strategy from the text.
From there, discuss the author’s purpose in using that strategy (what
they hoped to accomplish with it); then how the audience would
perceive it. Finish by stating whether the intent of the author
matches with the audience’s response, and why you think so, i.e. how
successful the strategy actually was.
Aspects to consider critiquing include: title, tone, information,
argumentation, subject relevance, thesis clarity, use of emotional
appeals, development of ideas, use of transitions or
metadiscourse, and word choice including slang, idioms, clichés,
regionalisms, jargon, and/or dialect. (Other examples are listed on p. 5
of this assignment.)
5. CONCLUSION: Section five, the conclusion, must restate your thesis, criteria, and all
main points, much like the intro: “Overall, the clear thesis and
careful attention to tone combine to create a successful essay overall.”
In this section, remind readers of both effective and ineffective points,
and discuss your views of the article on different audiences before
taking your reader back to the “real” world.

REMINDERS & TIPS
Remember, be assertive and state your opinion aggressively, because your opinion counts, but
only if you can effectively convince your audience that it does. Write in an objective 3rd person
point of view, not the subjective 1st person point of view.
Write with your audience in mind. Remember that your audience is unfamiliar with the essay
that you are critiquing, so take the time to provide them with the details and background information
necessary to understand it.
Relax and be in a good mood when you write, and write for time, not page length…i.e., write
for a little while, walk away, take a break, and unclutter your mind before beginning again.

Argument Essay

Assignment: Persuasive writing, also known as the argument essay, utilizes logic and reason to show that one idea is more legitimate than another idea. It attempts to persuade a reader to adopt a certain point of view or to take a particular action. The argument must always use sound reasoning and solid evidence by stating facts, giving logical reasons, using examples, and quoting experts or researched material.
The following criteria is essential to produce an effective argument:
Choose your position. Which side of the issue are you going to write about? Know the purpose of your essay.
Analyze your audience. Decide if your audience agrees with you, is neutral, or disagrees with your position.
What is at stake in your claim? Test your thesis; your argument, must have two sides.
Be well informed about your topic. To add to your knowledge, read about your topic using credible sources.
Find common ground with your opposition.
Respectfully disprove the opposing argument. Understand the opposite viewpoints of your position (their counterargument to your own) and then refute them by providing contrasting evidence or by finding mistakes and inconsistencies in the logic of the opposing argument.
Support your position with reasonable assertions and logic. Use the rhetorical appeals (ethos, pathos, and logos).
NOTE: THESE ARE GENERAL GUIDELINES. SEE THE ATTACHMENT FOR A FULL EXPLANATION OF YOUR ARGUMENT ESSAY (you will be choosing between writing a definitional, causal or rebuttal argument).
You may also interview friends, co-workers, family members, etc. to assist you with your argument. You can use their opinions to strengthen or refute your assertions.

You have two Prof. Notes articles, one other larger articles to read (Financial crisis 2007-2010).
And one assignment, where you need to retrieve data, plot graphs AND interpret the graphs. The idea is to learn about how countries vary in their financial health, and then understand if financial globalization is good for all countries equally.
I have also provided some reference material, in case you are curious.

SELECTING AN ESSAY AND STARTING THE CRITIQUE
1. Choose one of the essays in the list above. Keep in mind the essay’s content, form, and
style. Think about the author’s their purpose in writing, the publication in which the
article appeared, and their intended audience.
2. Using this assignment’s prewriting worksheet, begin drafting your own critique of the article,
using the outline given on p. 4 of this assignment.
ELEMENTS OF A CRITIQUE
The following elements of the textual critique are required in order to pass the essay.
1. INTRODUCTION: The main purpose of the critique’s introduction is to identify the article
under review and introduce your own original thesis based upon that
review.
Include a lead-in that will build rapport with your audience. Next,
identify the article, including relevant information such as
theauthor’s name, the title of the article, date of publication, and in which
publication the essay appeared.
Also please include the author’s subject, thesis and their intended
audience. Finally, include your thesis, which entails making a
judgment, based on chosen criteria, concerning the
essay’s overall effectiveness or ineffectiveness (not likes/dislikes,
good/bad, moral/immoral, etc).
Your thesis will sound something like this: “Overall the essay is
effective due to its humorous tone that will appeal to most
readers, and its clear thesis makes it easy to follow.”
Keep in mind that essays without a specific thesis or specific criteria
will not pass the assignment.
2. SUMMARY: This section answers the questions, “what idea or subject did the
author write about, what was the essay’s thesis, and what were the
main points of the article?” Summaries must be concise and should
not be more than one-quarter the total page length. Provide
readers with the essentials: subject matter, author’s thesis, main points,
conclusions.
Pro tip: Good summaries make frequent references to the author, use
transitional words often, and don’t rely too heavily on
quotations.
3. ANALYSIS: An analysis allows you to examine the elements that make up the
whole of the essay. In our case, you will think about what
inspired the author to write, what the author hoped to achieve
(what they wanted you to do after reading it), and what writing
criteria the author used to make their points effectively.
Remember, often the author will have more than one motivation,
more than one purpose, and more than one strategy, and your
analysis paragraph should reflect that. Come up with plausible ideas
using the words maybe, possibly, perhaps, or likely.
4. CRITIQUE: The body of the essay. Here, respond in several paragraphs to the
author’s writing by critiquing the global and local elements that
stand out the most. Write about one criterion per paragraph.
It will be helpful to discuss not only your judgment, but also to
include—near the beginning of the paragraph—a discussion or a
specific example (e.g., a quote, paraphrase, description) of that
strategy from the text.
From there, discuss the author’s purpose in using that strategy (what
they hoped to accomplish with it); then how the audience would
perceive it. Finish by stating whether the intent of the author
matches with the audience’s response, and why you think so, i.e. how
successful the strategy actually was.
Aspects to consider critiquing include: title, tone, information,
argumentation, subject relevance, thesis clarity, use of emotional
appeals, development of ideas, use of transitions or
metadiscourse, and word choice including slang, idioms, clichés,
regionalisms, jargon, and/or dialect. (Other examples are listed on p. 5
of this assignment.)
5. CONCLUSION: Section five, the conclusion, must restate your thesis, criteria, and all
main points, much like the intro: “Overall, the clear thesis and
careful attention to tone combine to create a successful essay overall.”
In this section, remind readers of both effective and ineffective points,
and discuss your views of the article on different audiences before
taking your reader back to the “real” world.

thats the introction

Prompt:
This is the paper in which you pull your ideas together and ask the big question: What does this painting mean? What do I think the artist is trying to say in it? Is it a straightforward meaning, or is it complex and contradictory? You are engaging in an act of interpretation, and how you interpret this painting will not necessarily be similar to anyone else’s. And yes, I am asking you what you, as an individual, think it means. Many interpretations will be possible for your image, but your grade will be based on how well you justify your interpretation with visual evidence from the painting and comparisons to it.

https://www.getty.edu/art/collection/object/103RJX

Instruction:
Back up interpretations with evidence! For example the artist’s life expereinces,his other paintings, the German Romanticism movement. I will provide my previous essays on the same painting and you can use ideas or evidence from these(but not too much). Focus on the interpretation itself, don’t include too many citations.
