Compose an independent critique of a chosen selection.

Objectives

1. Define the word critique;

2. Formulate critique in picture viewed;
3. Recognize the elements of Independent Critique; and
4. Compose an independent critique of a poem “Inevitable
Change” by John Freeman.

Let’s Understand (Study the Concept)

Independent critique helps us develop our knowledge of the selection’s

subject area, understanding the purpose, development of argument, structure
of evidence and recognition of strengths and weaknesses of the selection.
Before you start writing, it is important to have a thorough understanding of the
selection that will be critiqued. Remember the S.M.D.C.

S-Study the discussion in the selection.

M-Make notes for important details.
D-Develop an understanding of the main argument or purpose being
expressed in the selection
C-Consider how the selection relates to a broader issue or context.

Elements of Independent Critique

1. Introduction- typically, the introduction is short and should name the
chosen selection as well as the date it was created and the name of
author/creator. It describes the main argument or purpose of the
selection and have a concluding sentence that signpost what your
evaluation. For an instance, it may indicate whether it is a positive,
negative, or mixed evaluation.
2. Summary -briefly summarizes the main points and objectively describes
how the creator portrays these by using techniques, styles, media,

1
 characters, or symbols. This summary should not be the focus of the
critique and is usually shorter that the critical evaluation.

3. Critical Evaluation -this should give a systematic and detailed

assessment of the different elements of the selection, evaluating how
well the creator was able to achieve the purpose. For example: you
would assess the plot structure, characterization and setting of a novel.
A critical evaluation does not simply highlight negative impression. It
should deconstruct the selection and identify strengths and weaknesses.
It should examine the work and evaluate its success.

4. Conclusion- a brief paragraph stating overall evaluation and

recommendations for improvement

 “INEVITABLE CHANGE”
by John Freeman

Young as the Spring seemed life when she

Came from her silent East to me;
Unquiet as Autumn was my breast
When she declined into her West.

Such tender, such untroubling things

She taught me, daughter of all Springs;
Such dusty deathly lore I learned
When her last embers redly burned.

How should it hap (Love, canst thou say?)

Such end should be to so pure day?
Such shining chastity give place
To this annulling grave's disgrace?

Such hopes be quenched in this despair,

Grace chilled to granite everywhere?
How should-in vain I cry-how should
That be, alas, which only could!
