What is the difference between a summary of "Church Going" and a critical appreciation of it?
Think of the difference between telling what happens and explaining how and how well.
State in one sentence the subject of "Church Going" and in one sentence its main theme.
The subject is what happens; the theme is the larger idea behind it.
In the plan A.S.P.E.C.T., what does the letter T stand for?
It is the last stage of the plan.
Which of these sentences belongs in a critical appreciation and not in a mere summary?
Look for the sentence that explains how and why, not just what.
A student wrote a weak paragraph for a critical appreciation. It says only that in the first stanza the speaker goes into the church and looks at things, that he takes off his cycle-clips, that he then goes on to the second stanza and reads, and that this is a good part of the poem. Rewrite it as an analytical paragraph of about 90 words.
Replace the vague phrase about looking at things with what he notices and why it matters, and replace the final vague judgement with an effect.
Write the closing paragraph (about 80 words) of an appreciation that argues that the last stanza is a quiet affirmation.
State your view first, give two reasons from the last stanza, and end with the effect on the reader.
