The Assignment

Write a critical analysis of a text that allows you to examine what the text says, how it works, and what it means. Your goal is to offer your interpretation and sense of the text and to persuade readers to see it through your analytic perspective.

 

A successful analysis will provide:

 

• A careful and critical reading
• A thesis that offers a clear judgement
• Support for the thesis
• A balance of summary and analysis
• Careful attention to academic language, grammar, and form

 

Getting started

Explore ideas for your analysis by asking questions:

 

What is this text about?

What is the author’s thesis or central idea?

What is interesting, strange, or revealing about the text?

What do your annotations of the text reveal about your response to it?

How does the logical structure of the text function in relation to its argument?

 

Considerations for Evaluation

• Does the thesis offer a clear judgement, answer an interesting question, or solve a problem you have identified in the text?
• Does the analysis identify and focus on specific evidence? Is the significance of this evidence explored? Does the analysis explain what is interesting, strange or revealing about the evidence?

 

• Does the analysis offer a summary or explanation of the essay’s main claim that could be understood by someone unfamiliar with it?
• Does the analysis exhibit brevity and coherence through a logical flow of ideas and the use of transitions, attributive tags, and strong verbs?
