Step 5. Retell the article to yourself

It is best to do it in written form, such as an outline or a piece of free writing. Basically, you just put the information you have just read in your own words. This should include the author's claim, the conducted research, and the argument(s). You need to be careful and accurate not to miss any important details.
This text is only for your use, so it does not need any editing or proofreading, but it needs to be clear so that you could return to it at any time and not spend time remembering what exactly you meant by this or that.

• 
  If you choose to write an outline, it is better not to include your opinions here. Instead, you should better stick to the main points of the article.
  
• 
  Having retold the gist of the article, take your time and decide which parts are worth discussing in the review. While you always have to discuss the main issues, it is also worth to concentrate certain aspects such as the content, the interpretation of facts, the theoretical basis, the style of narration, etc. Sometimes, your tutor will specify on what you should focus.
  
• 
  Re-read your summary to cross out the items that can be omitted. This can be repeated information or something not critical to your cause.
  

Step 6. Outline your review

Look at your summary to see if the author was clear about each of them. Mark the points that could use some improvement, as well as the ones where the author was clear and accurate and where s/he pointed out something innovative. Then put together the lists of strong points and drawbacks and summarize them. For example, a strong point may be the introduction of new information, and a drawback may be the lack of accuracy in representing the existing knowledge on the topic. Add these outcomes to your study and back them up with evidence from the text of the article.
Answering these questions should facilitate your outline writing:

• 
  What was the goal of the article?
  
• 
  What theories does the author dwell upon?
  
• 
  Is the author clear with definitions?
  
• 
  Is the supportive evidence relevant?
  
• 
  What is the place of the article in its field of knowledge?
  
• 
  Does it contribute to the progress in this field?
  
• 
  Does the author convey his or her thoughts clearly?
  

It is crucial that you provide a non-biased judgment, so you need to try and steer clear from being judgmental and giving too much personal opinion.
