  11. Critical Analysis • The purpose of writing a critical analysis is to evaluate another body of work such as a written piece, paintings or movies. • Critical analysis is a way for the writer to express her opinion or interpretation of a piece of work. • This also is a way to break down the piece and study the parts.

  12. Critical Analysis • Start by reading all the material on the site completely and thoroughly. Once done with the reading, think about the issues raised in the subject. • Critical analysis is a central process in all academic work. It involves thinking critically, which is applying rational and logical thinking while deconstructing the work you read.

  13. How do we think critically? • When we think critically we are being active; we are not passively accepting everything we read and hear, but questioning, evaluating, making judgements, finding connections and categorising. It is being open to other points of view, not focusing on our own biases. • Always compare what the site is trying to achieve with what is actually achieved. • You are to state what you think, the impression the site’s features have on you, and what it may have on others – particularly the target audience.
