To make it easier for you to write a critical analysis essay, we have a helpful analysis writing template

that will guide you through the most critical points. This helpful writing template will make sure that
you are following the right format, structure, and do not miss anything important!

Introduction

1. State the title of the work that you analyze, specify author’s name and the date of publication,
if available.

2. Outline the main ideas of a news report or a research journal article to identify the author’s
thesis.

3. Come up with your own thesis statement and talk briefly of your main vision and ideas related
to original paper.

4. Keep it short! After all, it is an introduction!

Examples to Follow:

The “Things They Carried” by Tim O’Brien is an educational and a self-critical story because the author
makes a point about… The article “Racial Prejudice in Pretoria, South Africa” by Joost Van Der Graaf
provides an unbiased insight on racial relationships in South Africa in a unique manner because the
author has studied…

Summary

1. Provide a brief outline of the main ideas presented in your research article, news report, book
or a movie.

2. This is an actual part that should answer to the questions what, why, who, when and how
exactly.

of view presented by the author.

Analysis

1. State what you like and what you do not like about the article or a news report in a critical
way.

2. Explain your own ideas by offering specific examples from an actual article, a news report or
a book.

3. Next, you have to state and explain whether the author has achieved his or her intentions and
goals or not.

You have to use analysis to see whether an original journal article or a paper is focused, clear, unbiased,
informative, and persuasive enough. Another important point to check is whether an article directs to
appropriate and specific audience and if it really meets intentions and a purpose. Check for correct
conclusions and summing up of a research being done.

Conclusion

a) Restate your thesis in a different way, using new words.


b) Summarize your main thesis and ideas presented, using core points in a different tone.
c) If necessary and if appropriate, you should make a call to action for your target audience.

Examples to follow:

This article is important because it provides a unique… This article has a biased attitude because the
author only focuses on… Instead of turning to real-life examples and the actual statistics, the author
of the news report only makes assumptions…
