Writing an Evaluation
In an evaluation essay, a writer makes – and defends – an assessment of the subject. We do this all the time! – movies, restaurants, stories, music.
In this course, students in grades 11-12 work through the writing process to evaluate a subject of interest, giving thought to the logical structure of an evaluation, the need for specific support, and the ways to address an audience’s possible objections while making their case.
Students should have a solid foundation in basic writing skills as well as experience writing short papers such as book reports, journal entries and lab reports.
Writing a Literacy Narrative is recommended as a prerequisite to introduce students to the writing process in a personal writing project.
This is a 4-week asynchronous course. That means there are no scheduled class meetings; all the instruction is included in the course so students can complete the work for each week at the times most convenient for your family. Purchase grants access to the course for 6 months.
