1.3:Devolping a critical response

Review: a view or opinion on the work of others, sometimes including a rating or comparison to other similar works

Constructive criticism: expressing opinions and making suggestions about how they could be improved

Justifying opinions: By giving specific opinions

Preparation for a review: time, research, equipment (in some cases). Make notes while watching a performance, write the notes about the performance as soon as you get them because if you leave it till after, it will not have the same passion to it.

Structuring your response:
Introduction:- Tell the audience what you are revising
Who the main people are
Where and when you witnessed it

Overview or synopsis:- Tell the audience what you witnessed
Set the scene for what happens in the activity

You are reviewing: Summarise the story or action in a few sentences
Remember not to give away the whole plot and spoil it

The end of the story:-
Opinion - Start expressing your opinions about what you have experienced
Deal with thoughts or comments one at a time
For each point you make, give an example of why you feel that way
Need to justify the points you make

Relevant points to include: What is relevant to your written response
Give useful feedback for those thinking to do that activity
