[@brianh5075]

Like many academic You Tubers you address this 'critical analysis essay' challenge with broad generalisations. It is not surprising that many of the student comments below show that this method of explanation does not work. After 40 years of teaching literature at an old English university I have found it can ONLY be taught be showing students 'worked examples' of essays, written on real texts. If you were to take a familiar poem and go through the 'process' of analysis and essay-composition your students would have a much better chance of understanding what you are trying to teach them. A picture says more than a thousand words. And a 'worked example' of a skill - a demonstration, in fact - is worth more than a thousand words of untethered generalisations. Best of luck to you and your You Tube followers.

[@rwc]

I appreciate your comment. Have you considered making videos for your students?

[@brianh5075]

@@rwc A very reasonable question, if I may say so! I have not made videos because I have a speech impediment which would make me sound very odd in a video. I manage in class and in small group events : students get used to my quirks. So I do not make teaching videos. I suggest teachers should simply set themselves a critical assessment task, talk the class through the thinking and research process - and then give them the essay the teacher has written. I find that after the second teacher-led demonstration everyone gets the message and starts to produce good work. The best students produce excellent work. (BTW I make the same recommendation to teachers of other Humanities subjects where essay-writing is important.)

[@rwc]

@@brianh5075 I developed a stutter after I started teaching about 12 years ago. It usually doesn't show up during a lesson, fortunately. I agree that examples are a great way to teach. As I add more videos, I can focus on that as well. I appreciate your suggestions.

+Kardash Znavourek That’s more complicated than simply analyzing an essay. Writing about literary theory takes practice. In short, theories are like perspectives to look at writing with. Make sure you understand the theory and then apply that perspective to the text in question.

Is it okay to articulate my opinion and bring my own examples?

[@rwc]

@@sarahha6523 Literature reviews are a little bit different. In general, they are intended to review what the literature says as a whole and when synthesized with each other. It may be relevant (check with your teacher) to add analysis, but they are not persuasive. That's a different kind of paper. Make sure you are following your teacher's guidelines, but the basic critical analysis structure can be used just about anywhere. You just want to use analysis rather than persuasion. Support everything you say with the understanding that you're job is to present information, not persuade anything. Good luck!

Well the problem I have is that my teacher is asking for a psychological criticism essay on a short story by Edgar Allen poe. Which makes no sense whatsoever if this is the definition of a critical analysis essay

[@vxCOCOxv]

My problem is because I have an assigned topic, and a topic question. It’s Shakespeare’s Othello. I truly feel like I need to make a video someday about this… The difference between essay types is not clear and it becomes difficult to find the distinction. I am upgrading and to write a second critical analysis I still don’t understand how it differs. I understand the terms, but the content of what my essay needs to contain is so lost to me.

[@rwc]

Essays don’t have objective rules. Each teacher may expect something different. If possible, I’d recommend asking your teacher for clarification on their expectations. Generally speaking, a critical analysis requires looking for insights into the text, reading deeply, and using examples to explain your analysis. Some teachers may want something more specific though. Only they can clarify what.

Could u pls tell me how to do a critical review of journal article.

[@rwc]

+Thushee fer This video should explain it. How you analyze a text doesn’t change that much from source to source. The basics are the same. You read the text carefully and discuss what insights you have. Don’t say “I think” or “I feel” or “I believe.” Don’t Terence yourself at all. Just state your observations as facts and back then up with explanations from the text and outside sources. This works for journal articles as well as other kinds of sources. As part of your critique, you may focus on the author’s purpose and how well he or she accomplished their purpose.

[@areyougoodbro2187]

Can i write a critical analysis essay on why it I agree with it?
