The Evaluation
ENGL 1301: Composition & Rhetoric I
Overview
For this assignment you will write an evaluation. “An evaluation is at bottom a judgment; you judge something according to certain criteria, supporting your judgment with reasons and evidence” (Bullock and Goggin 202). Keep in mind that an evaluation is more than if you liked something or not; you are sharing your thoughts about what worked or didn’t work in a particular movie, book, etc. Chapter 16 has more information on what a good evaluation contains.
Guidelines
Develop a comprehensive and detailed 2 to 3 typed (double-spaced) evaluation for to a general audience. You can write an evaluation on anything from one of these 6 categories:
- Product
- Movie
- Book
- Restaurant
- Performance (play, ballet, dance)
- Album (possibly a song, but most reviews cover an album)
Consider the following questions when developing your evaluation:
- Who wrote it, developed it, or produced it?
- What is the genre of your subject, and what do people expect from that genre?
- When was it created?
- Where does it exist or where were the scenes set?
- Why was it created- for what purpose?
- How was it made?
Key Features
Arrange the parts of your evaluation in the order that will prove most effective with the audience. Your evaluation should be “rather straightforward, so drafting this kind of argument is often easier than drafting in other genres” (Johnson-Sheehan and Paine 98). At a minimum, your review should include the key features listed on pages 205-206.
Thesis Statement
But where does my thesis statement go? Your thesis statement can go at the end of your introduction. Don’t surprise your readers- let them know upfront what the expectations are that you based your evaluation on.
Formatting and Writing Conventions
Papers should be typed in a legible (ex: Calibri, Times New Roman), 12-point font and double spaced (with space between paragraphs removed). All other formatting should adhere to MLA standards (see resources in Chapter 52 for MLA formatting help). Additionally, you’ll want to make sure you proofread your paper carefully to avoid errors in grammar, punctuation, spelling, and mechanics.
