    2. What is its purpose?
    3. Who are its intended readers?
    4. Does the writer explicitly state his/her thesis statement?
    5. What theoretical assumptions (i.e., a scientific/logical explanation without
    evidence) are mentioned in the book or article? Are they explicitly discussed?
    6. What are the contributions if the book or article to the field (e.g., language,
    psychology) it is situated in?
    7. What problems and issues are discussed in the book or article?
    8. What kinds of information (e.g., observation, survey, statistics, historical account)
    are presented in the book or article? How are they used to support the arguments or
    thesis?
    9. Are there other ways of supporting the arguments or thesis aside from the
    information used in the book or article? Is the author silent about these alternative
    ways of explanation?

    “The author argues…”
    5. Situate your review.
    6. Examine whether the findings are adequately supported or
    not analyze the type of analysis the writer used
    (e.g., quantitative, qualitative, case study) and how it
    supports the arguments and claims.
    8. Suggest some ways on how the writer can improve his/her reasoning
    or explanations.
