Article analysis

A robust opinion is an informed opinion. This means that it is grounded in the scholarship on the particular topic to which we are contributing. It is important that we consider the views of scholars who have expertise and experience on the topic. When considering these views, it is essential that we demonstrate our understanding of them in a clear and concise way. We do this by summarising an author’s ideas and the evidence they present to support them. This summary task will provide the opportunity to develop your critical reading skills and your capacity to identify and succinctly express essential ideas relating to Australian society as well as practicing applying scholarly conventions in your written work.
