learning systematically by providing students with multiple ways to learn new
things, practice their learning, question their learning processes, and draw
conclusions about what they learned about their life experiences and previous

D. Discussing new and Defining Critique
practicing new skills # A critique is an in-depth evaluation of a story, novel, film, or other
1. reading/viewing materials to give the public an insight into the text.
Critiques contain a careful evaluation mainly on the following elements
of a narrative: characterization, setting, conflict, plot, dialogue, theme, and
style.
In assessing the said elements, there are certain questions that the critic should
ask. David Farland (2017) and other critics enumerated some questions one
might use to judge a story or other narratives:
Setting: How well was the setting developed? Does it appeal to more than one of
the senses? Does it inform or connect to other aspects of the story such as
character development and narrative style?
Characterization: How well-drawn are the characters in the story? Do we know
enough about them (life, attitudes, some type of history, etc.) to make them
interesting and relatable? Are there unnecessary characters?
Conflict and Plot: Is there a conflict in the story? Is the plot interesting, original
and well-developed? Are there unnecessary and confusing subplots?
Theme: How well does the story speak to the readers? Does it raise questions
about life, or provide profound insights?
Style: How distinctive or unique is the writing style? Are there literary devices or
techniques used? Is it purposeful? Does the style remind you of any other authors
you have read?
Structure of Critical Essay
 Introduction
 Body
 Conclusion
Finally, here are some additional reminders that budding critics need to
take note of when writing a critique:
 Avoid introducing your ideas by stating “I think” or “In my opinion”
because this weakens the analysis.
 Always introduce the work. Do not assume that the readers know what
you are writing about and that you don’t need to mention some details
anymore.
 To be able to write a good critique and help readers understand the story,
you should know well what you are writing about.
