Critical Thinking Steps : Critical Thinking Steps Summarizing= S Analyzing= A Synthesizing = S Evaluating = E S.A.S.E. Summary : Summary A good summary answers the question: “What was the reading/movie/lecture about?” A good summary simply describes what the reading presented. For example: The Wizard of Oz is about a farm girl named Dorothy who is attempting to return to her home in Kansas after being snatched up by a tornado and deposited in a fantasy land populated by witches, a talking scarecrow, a cowardly lion, a tin man, and other mysterious beings. Analysis : Analysis Analysis breaks down the whole work into parts in order to examine the parts carefully. For example: we can analyze an engine by looking at its parts. Another example: we can analyze a movie by examining the characters, themes, setting, dialogue etc… Analysis can examine cause, process, categories, comparisons, opinions about etc… Synthesis : Synthesis Synthesis looks outside of the subject itself and draws comparisons with other material. We analyze a type of food by examining its ingredients. We Synthesize by showing similarities & differences with other foods. For example: Chinese food vs. Thai food – how are they similar? Different? Synthesis cont’d : Synthesis cont’d Another example: We synthesize when we compare Star Wars to Star Trek. And yet another example: We synthesize when we read a movie critic’s review of Star Wars and compare his/her review with our own opinion about the movie. Evaluation : Evaluation Evaluation is more than “I liked it.” Critical Evaluation is based upon the previous steps – analysis and synthesis. Evaluation is informed and educated about the topic. Evaluation considers all sides before making a determination of value. Review: Critical Thinking is… : Review: Critical Thinking is… Summary Analysis Synthesis Evaluation You will see these steps again… : You will see these steps again… That’s a promise!
