What’s In Activity 1: Fact or Opinion. Read the following statements carefully. Write F if the statement is a fact, and O if it is an opinion. Do this using a separate sheet of paper. 1. Reaction papers have introduction, body, and conclusion. 2. Reaction papers are long and boring to write. 3. A critique paper is a formal type of writing. 4. Critique paper uses academic writing style. 5. Only intelligent students can write a critique paper. Activity 2: Activating Prior Knowledge When you were in the lower years, your teachers have exposed you to a lot of writing experiences. Using these experiences as your guide, fill in the grid below with some words or phrases you can think of, to describe the ways by which the following types of writing are written. 6  Reaction Paper Review/Critique What’s New Activity 3: Picture Analysis Analyze the picture above. Then answer the following questions. 7  1. What do you see in the picture? ____________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________ 2. What could be the effect of this scenario to women/mothers? ____________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________ What is It Understanding Critical Approaches and their Aspects There are various ways or standpoints by which you can analyse and critique a certain material. You can view it in the context of its technical aspects, its approach to gender, and your reaction as an audience. The following theories and approaches to literary criticism would help you understand these ways better. 1. Formalism It claims that literary works contain intrinsic properties and treats each work as a definite work of art. In short, it emphasizes that the key to understanding a text is through the text itself: the historical context, the author, or the other external context aren't necessary in in the interpretation of meaning. The common aspects looked into when using Formalism are the following: a. author’s techniques in resolving contradiction within the work b. central passage that sums up the entirety of the work c. contribution of parts and the work as a whole to its aesthetic quality d. relationship of the form and the content e. use of imagery to develop the symbols in the work f. interconnectedness of various parts of the work g. paradox, ambiguity, and irony in the work h. unity in the work 2. Feminism It focuses on how literature presents women as subjects of socio-political, psychological, and economic oppression. It also reveals how aspects of our culture are patriarchal, i.e., how our culture views men as superior and women as inferior. 8  The common aspects looked into when using feminism are as follows: a. how culture determines gender. b. how gender equality (or lack of it) is presented in the text c. how gender issues are presented in literary works and other aspects of human production and daily life d. how women are socially, politically, psychologically, and economically oppressed by patriarchy e. how patriarchal ideology is an overpowering presence 3. Reader-Response Criticism It is concerned with the reviewer’s reaction as an audience of a work. This approach claims that the reader’s role cannot be separated from the understanding of the work. It also claims that a text does not have meaning until the reader reads it and interprets it. Readers are therefore not passive and distant, but are active consumers of the material presented to them. The common aspects looked into when using reader response criticism are as follows: a. interaction between the reader and the text in creating meaning b. the impact of the reader’s delivery of sounds and the visuals in enhancing and changing meaning 4. Marxist Criticism It is concerned with differences between economic classes and implications of a capitalist system, such as the continuing conflicts between the working class and the elite. Hence, it attempts to reveal that the ultimate source of people’s experience is the socioeconomic system. The common aspects looked into when using Marxist criticism are as follows: a. social class as represented in the work b. social class of the writer/creator c. social class of the characters 9  What’s More Activity 4. What’s a Critique? Read and analyze the information below then then summarize it using any of the summarizing techniques you have learned in Module 2. Use a separate one whole sheet of paper. Critiques evaluate and analyse a good type of things (texts, images, performances, etc.) supported by reasons or criteria. Sometimes, people equate the notion of “critique” to “criticism”, which sometimes suggests negative interpretation. These terms are easy to confuse, but let us be clear that critique and criticize don’t mean the identical thing. A negative critique may be said to be criticism within the way we frequently understand the term “to criticize”, but critiques are often positive too. We are all conversant in one among the foremost basic styles of critique: reviews (film reviews, music reviews, art reviews, book reviews, etc). Critiques within the style of reviews tend to possess a reasonably simple and particular point: whether or not something is “good” or “bad”. My Summary 10  What I Have Learned Activity 5. Find Me!
