Take a few minutes to think about the difficulties you have encountered
when reading academic texts. Share them here. Comment on your
classmates’ answers if you can.
Evaluating academic sources
The CRAAP Test
Activity 2 (20 minutes)
In your breakout rooms, discuss how you can apply the CRAAP Test to the article
Peer assessment in a test-dominated setting: Empowering, boring or facilitating
examination preparation?
You can comment by annotating the article here (it works just like commenting
on Word; permission to use mic/camera is not necessary).
BREAK5 minutes
A mental map for finding your way through academic lit
Where on the “map” of academic
literature do you think the text
belongs?
Adapted from Poulson & Wallace
(2012) and Wallace & Wray (2016) by
Dr Kramer-Dahl
Guide to critically analysing an academic text
Adapted from
Poulson & Wallace
(2012) and Edwards
(2000) by Dr
Kramer-Dahl
Activity 3 (40 minutes)
In your breakout rooms, critically analyse (as a group) the same article using the
guide in the previous slide.
As before, you can comment by annotating the article here (it works just like
commenting on Word).
1-minute paper
This has been a very brief introduction! With time and experience, you will find
academic reading easier.
Please spend the last minute answering the last three questions here.
In the next few days I will email you some follow-up comments and feedback.
You can also email me at hsiaoyun.chan@nie.edu.sg /
hsiaoyun.chan@gmail.com, or text me on Telegram.
Take care, and stay safe!
