The document provides guidelines for writing a critique in 5 steps: 1) Thoroughly read and re-read the document, taking notes on patterns, tone, etc. 2) Identify sources of evidence like publication details and author's strategies. Determine if the strategies are successful. 3) Examine underlying assumptions and gaps in reasoning. Consider emotional appeals and imagery. 4) Organize analysis paragraphs around themes. A clear thesis should emerge from this. 5) Write and revise the critique, focusing on rhetorical analysis rather than summary and using present tense and author's last names. The critique should follow general organization guidelines.
