Lesson 09:
The Summary-Critique
This video presents the essential format for academic writing: the summary-critique. You will learn, step by step, how to analyze a source with confidence and demonstrate your understanding to your instructors. As you watch the video, take notes in the Word document provided. Then, consult the annotated student samples in the PDF documents to observe how the summary-critique structure is applied in practice.
Instructions for Lesson 09
“Summarize smart, critique with confidence.”
1
Watch the video
Before you dive into writing like Shakespeare (or maybe just your next essay), take a few minutes to watch this video. It’s short, sweet, and surprisingly helpful. Bonus: there are no pop quizzes or singing cats—just clear tips to get you started on the right foot
2
Take notes with our Word document
Grab the Word Doc
Yes, it’s just a Word document—but trust us, it’s your secret weapon. Open it, type (or scribble) some notes while you watch the video, and boom—you’re learning like a pro. Bonus: it won’t judge your spelling.
3
Check Out the Student Samples
Want to see what all this looks like in real life (well, CEGEP life)? Download the sample PDFs and see how other students tackled the task. It’s like peeking at someone else’s homework—except it’s totally allowed. And encouraged!
