Welcome to the Forum. Analytical means your teacher wants you to explain things in your essay. So for example, instead of just writing about what happened when the monasteries were dissolved (closed down), you would need to explain why Henry decided to close down the monasteries.

Reasons for events is why things happen (sometimes know an 'causation'). Results ('consequences') are what happens because of events or decisions.

Hope that this helps explain things. If you do a search on the forum for 'reformation' or 'protestant' then I tyhink you'll find a lot of material to help you.

Let us know if you need more help.

That's good news. Don't worry if you find it difficult at first; explanation can be a difficult skill to master, even for GCSE or A-Level students. Good luck with your essay.
