How to Write a Critical Analysis
To see what a critical analysis is, we'll first break down those words--
First Critical: characterized by careful analysis and judgment
& Analysis: a separating or breaking up of any whole into its parts and consideration of the significance of those parts and how they function to form the whole.
Here's a brief list of terms you might find useful:

Analyze: divide into parts and discuss each part
Argue: make a claim and point out your reasons
Classify: organize people, objects, or concepts into groups
Compare & Contrast: point out similarities and differences
Discuss: state the important characteristics and main points
Evaluate: define criteria for judgment and examine good and bad points, strengths and weaknesses
Explain: give reasons or make clear by analyzing, defining, contrasting, illustrating, and so on
Illustrate: give examples from experience and reading
Relate: point out and discuss connections.

(While you might never use all of the preceding elements in any one paper, if you are attempting to apply this kind of thinking to what you read and incorporate that thought into your papers then you're on the right track.)
