ARTICLE REVIEW GUIDELINES Please use 1 inch margins, Arial 11-point font and 1.5 spacing.

The APA citation and referencing format must be followed strictly.

1- A *BRIEF* summary of the article * You should summarize the main points the author discusses. o As far as possible, make it clear what the author's central argument is. * This summary is only to give the necessary background for the analysis you will give, not the main thrust of your review. * You will be able to include more detailed information in the course of actually critiquing the article. * Your summary should not take up more than a half page or so.

2- A detailed analysis of the article * This is the most important part of the review and where most of the marks will be allocated. Spend the most time here.

3 * You need to show not only that you have read the article, but that you have thought critically about its content. * When assessing the author's argument, you might think about the following questions?

a) Is the argument made clearly? Does the author hide behind fancy rhetoric or does the author lay out the argumentative steps in a way that is easy to understand?

b) Does the author use appropriate evidence to support the argument?

c) Does the author argue logically? Are there steps missing in the chain of argumentation?

d) Does the author support the opinions with clear explanations or appeals to evidence or is the reader expected to simple agree with the author?

e) Does the author's view align with what you know about this topic?

f) What is the intended audience for the article, is the article pitched too high? Too low?

g) Does the author give sufficient background for the argument, for example, contextualizing what she/ he says in relation to other scholarship on the subject?

h) Is the article convincing? Boring? Safe? Provocative? Controversial? If controversial, does the author extend the conversation on the topic in a constructive way or does she/ he go too far? i) If you agree with the author in any way, what changes would you propose? How would you improve on either the style or content of the article?

j) Is this article useful for people studying this topic? Why? How? o Obviously you won't have time to do ALL of this.

Importantly, use these questions as a guide to the kinds of things that you should be discussing and not as a list of questions that must be answered. If Accepted, I will provide you with some article as a sources you have to use some of them for your writing.
