1. Open and read the “How to write a critique” document in the resources menu.
Describe what is a critique.

A critique involves identifying critical things to say about an article and resisting the temptation to describe rather than analyse. Let’s look at the difference.
Description is just stating facts – though each person will have a different idea of what facts are the most important ones. Description is a lot easier than analysis, which is breaking things up into themes and putting them together.
2. Outline the FOUR stages in a critique.

A critique usually has 4 parts:
· An introduction (which directs the reader’s attention to the publication and your response to it)
· A summary of the article
· Your analysis or critical commentary on the original text
· Your evaluation or conclusion
3. Can a critique be positive? Discuss.
It could be either positive or negative because it depends on the topic that has been said if its controversial or not or if the writer will write what they think so it will be bias to the positive or negative.
4. Critique the accuracy of the following articles:
Beijing Olympic: Are They Are Trap?
The issue being disscussed on the video is that is the Beijing Olympic Games are a trap for athletes and fans. This is important because it threatens the safety of both athletes and fans at Beijing. I believe that this article is a waste of time and the people of Beijing would never do that to harm the public.
The article talks about the Olympics and how there going to be a trap for althletes and fans. The people disscusing how the games are really going to be a trap and that the cpn struction sites are known to the panalist as the “holes in the ground” which are going to be cover by bushes and leaves to trap the athletes and fans attending the games.
The importance is the threat that the athletes are under and security for them will be great. But if this issue occurs the people in the article would be right but they didn’t have any evidence so this can’t be proven crroect by these people in the article.
Iv conclued that like in my introduction that this article was a waste of time and the athletes have nothing to worry about this article was just to get attention from the public.
2 year old Donkey called up to Pro Donkey Basketball League
The issue being talked about is about a 2 year old donkey named scraps going to be a Pro basketball donkey. This article isn’t that important because its just a donkey playing basketball and doesn’t anyone in today’s society.
The article is about Scraps a donkey offered to play pro donkey basketball. It’s has taken 5 fundraisers to promote him to pro basketball league. He has been talked up “one of the best players in a long time” The sports reporter also comments on one such Donkey that has ‘gone down the wrong path’ by not eating at all.
It isn’t that important to most people who support sport because no one really care about Pro Donkey Basketball League. My expert opion that the sports reporter had little evidence to support his story and if he had an interview with scrap’s rider his story would be correct.
After watching the article i find this not true because i looked it up in further research and didn’t find any storys on a Pro Donkey Basketball Player.
