Essay- critical reading & writing guidelines
Critical Reading
Critical reading requires that you look beyond finding information or locating and author’s purpose or identifying
main idea. Critical reading requires that you dig deep into theoretical text sifting out meaning, systems of
relationships between ideas and carefully examine your own response to these ideas and the impact of these
ideas on the world around you. Critical reading requires that you question.
Critical reading approach initiates rather than waiting for the author to tell you his story. Reading is a sort of
social act of interaction looking between the lines to make your own analysis and synthesis presenting your own
agenda and conclusions. The process is similar to engaging in a conversation taking the opportunity to respond
once the author has presented his point or case. Critical writing requires a response that you read carefully,
questioning and responding so that you can formulate your response.
Critical Writing
There are various types of writing types: descriptive, reflective, theoretical, argumentative always trying to
relate your readings and writing to your studio work, classroom lectures and discussions and your theoretical
readings. This can include analysis of architecture, cities, theoretical texts and formulation of concise written
responses in chosen format.
This course and its assignments requires that you learn to make an argument. For an essay or term paper as
such typically required three elements: thesis; anti-thesis and synthesis. Writing requires clear thinking succinct
choice of words and development of argument with supporting evidence. The goal is to develop the ability to
describe your ideas about the text, communicate your ideas in written form or in oral form ( group presentation
project) which requires founded arguments that are communicated visually and in writing
