STAGE 2. WRITING

Step 1. Think of a title for your writing

The title of your review should hint on its focus that you have chosen in one of the previous steps. A title can be descriptive, declarative or interrogative.

Step 2. Cite the article that you are reviewing

This should be placed under the title. Remember to use the specified citation style (APA, ASA, Chicago / Turabian, MLA). The main body of your review should start right after this citation, without skipping a line.
For example, here is how you cite an article in Chicago / Turabian format style:
Smith, John, and Jane Doe. “Studies in pop rocks and Coke.” Weird Science 12 (2009)

Step 3. Provide the general information about the article that you are reviewing.

Start your review with mentioning the title of the article under review, its author(s), as well as the title of the journal and the year of publication.
For example: The article, "Studies in pop rocks and Coke" was written by pop-art enthusiasts John Smith and Jane Doe.

Step 4. Write your introduction

Your introduction should be the utmost laconic gist of the article under review. Here, you state the author's thesis. If the thesis is not stated in the article, it is up to you to figure it out yourself. The introduction should also include article main theme and the author's main claim.
Use the formal style and narrate impersonally or from the third person, avoid the first person.

• 
  Usually, the introduction should comprise about 10-15% of your review, but not more than 25%
  
• 
  The introduction is summed up by your own thesis where you briefly mention the article strongest point and main drawback. For example, “The authors do draw a clear correlation between pop and coke, but the evidence about rock is clearly misinterpreted.”
  

Step 5. Give an overview of the article

Use your own words to explain the article’s main claim, main points, and research results. Your summary should be of help here. Demonstrate how the evidence supports the argument in the article. Mention the conclusions drawn by the author. Your tutor will determine how long the introduction should be, but normally it takes several paragraphs.
Be as laconic as you can and include as much information as possible. For this purpose, avoid mentioning the information that your reader is already familiar with.

• 
  Drop one or two direct quotes
  
• 
  Review your introduction to make sure that it accurately reflects the article.
