Learning how to write a critical analysis essay is an important skill for college students. You'll need to learn how to critique what you read and how to write it as an essay. In this video, I explain how to use rhetorical strategies to write a critical analysis essay for a college English class. If you are confused or have questions, please let me know in the comments and I'll be glad to answer them. Thanks for watching and good luck writing!

This is Episode 10 in the series for my ENG101 Class for Eastern Arizona College.

When your teachers have talked about what you need to do, you’ve read about how to write a critical review, and you’ve watched videos about how to write a critical review but you still have no idea what you’re supposed to do 😐
