  1. Lesson Aim: To look at how to critically examine issues and how to effectively write essays in Physical Education studies.

  2. Critical Evaluation Question sheet.

  3. What not to do with Critical Analysis • Don’t make assumptions- if you can’t back it up with evidence then don’t write it or say it. Take nothing for granted. • Everything needs to be referenced from a credible source, not your parents or friends etc. Or have evidence supporting what you are saying. • I don’t want you to ramble and try to sound intelligent, keep it simple and to the point. • Remember there are many sides to any issue, not just your own.

  4. Essay writing structure in PES. • Read through the question firstly in one go and then identify what is being asked. • Brainstorm everything you know about the issue (SPEECH, OPV, PMIS) • Then you will begin writing your essay in the following format • Introduction. • Positives. • Minuses. • Issues • Suggestions SPEECH- societal, political, environmental, economic, cultural, historical. OPV= Others Point of View PMIS= Positives, Minuses, Issues and Suggestions

  5. Introduction • State in this paragraph what you know and what you would like to know / critically evaluate. • Draw on hard facts, figures, definitions, quotes, opinions of others and relevant background material you know about the topic to support you. • Define the aim of the rest of the essay. • Outline the different issues that you will examine throughout the rest of the essay.

  6. Positives. • Present the positive view points- i.e. what do you agree with in the statement put forward. • Back this up with evidence e.g. quotes, research and your own personal experiences. • This may include SPEECH influences and OPV.

  7. Negatives. • Examines a negative view point. • What do you disagree with from the statement? • Look at the weakness and who is to benefit from such statements. • Point out errors of logic or show that conclusions do not necessarily logically follow.

  8. Issues • Examine any bias that may exist. Challenge the validity of facts and figures backed up with up your own evidence. • Challenge assumptions; Are there any blanket terms used? Define these and challenge there use. Have any extraploitations been made i.e. statements that make a trend forward and assume the trend will continue in the future.

  9. Suggestions. • What are some in initiatives, new ideas, alternatives you or others have about helping this issue move forward / be improved.

  10. Conclusion • Begin with a statement such as “I am now going to conclude by reflecting major points I have discussed” DO NOT USE ANY SWEEPING GENERALISATIONS OR NEW MATERIAL IN YOUR CONCLUSION!!

  11. SEDE. • For every point that you raise use SEDE. • S=Statement- make a valid statement or say in my opinion. • E=Explain- make clear what you mean by this statement. • DE= Detailed example- give a detailed backed up with evidence.

  12. Finally...... • Make sure that you are not just listing facts or ideas, that you link ideas, data and interpretations into coherent paragraphs. • Use quotes and data. • Reference, reference, reference. • Make sure that you writing is not prejudice or one sided. • Proof read and check your grammar. • Don’t try and sound intelligent with what you say. Don’t use big words you don’t understand just to sound clever! • Make sure your writing is formal, no text languages, abbreviations, personal jokes etc.
