Critiquing Gainer article
In groups, work through the Gainer
article, using the analytic template
found in Appendix 1 of your syllabus
to guide your evaluation

your final paper

Finding a focus article
The article must be relevant to literacy studies.
The article must be a peer-reviewed and formally
published research article.
Ideally published within the past 5 years.
You need to be truly interested in the focus of the
article. Focus must be good and “meaty”
The focus of your article needs to have a prior history
of research – be part of a research area or field
Your final paper must engage with debates, present an
argument, and include critique (your group needs to
take a theorised position and you’ll be reading well
beyond your focus article)
