Critical Reading Worksheet (CRW)

Your Name:                                                                 Author or Essay Title:            

Purpose: You will complete a CRW for each of your classmates’ presentations. (Note: You will not complete a CRW for the essay you are presenting!) The CRW is intended to give you continued practice in your written expression of key elements of a text in order to enter into an analytical discussion. Completion of the CRW will help better prepare you to participate in your classmates’ team-led discussions, and it will also help prepare you for your next paper (Paper 2).

Instructions: Respond in the “Your Responses” column using complete sentences, and submit your CRW to BB > Assignments > HW before class on the day it is due. Refer to your CRW in class for the presentation discussion. 

RHETORICAL SITUATION & BRIEF SUMMARY

In 3-4 sentences, write a brief summary of this essay in which you address the following:

• Author’s name & title of the essay
• Publication info (date, website, etc.)
• The conversation the author is entering
• The author’s primary purpose (is the essay more objective/neutral or subjective/offering the author’s point of view? Choose an accurate verb to reflect the purpose: to inform, to raise awareness, to argue, to analyze, etc.)

Author’s main idea or thesis

THEMATIC CONNECTION (PLACING AUTHORS/TEXTS IN CONVERSATION)

Write at least 3 sentences in which you discuss the following:

• What is one theme (topic, subject) of the essay that you can connect with another essay or TEDTalk that we have already studied, and explain the extent to which the two authors/texts compare and contrast on that theme or issue. Do they share similar points of view on the theme/issue, or no? Explain.

*Note: Please do not pick globalization as your theme, which is too obvious – get more specific!

SIGNIFICANT KEY FEATURE

Write at least 3 sentences in which you discuss one key feature that stands out to you in the essay. Include the following in your discussion:

• What is the key feature and why have you selected it? Why/how is it important to the essay & to the author’s main ideas or purpose?

Either directly quote or paraphrase a short passage in the essay that uses or illustrates this key feature and briefly discuss the passage. Include a citation referencing the paragraph # of the essay.

DISCUSSION QUESTION 

Imagine you were presenting on this essay:

• Share one discussion question that you would ask your classmates (use proper grammar!) 

Explain: why would you ask this question? And what would your response to the question be?
