Part B

Introduction

It is common to have conversations about our favorite and least favorite movies and restaurants which makes evaluation one of the most common arguments that we employ, often using the technique on a daily basis. You convince your friends which movies or tv series they should watch, which albums they should stream, and which video games they should download. This is all part of a review process in which you have previously experienced what you are describing, and now, you are making reasoned quality judgments.

Assignment

Compose a critical evaluation of some piece of media or some experience or product. Take the prewriting that you do on your own and expand it into a full-length film/ restaurant/ album/ TV review using techniques learned in class. Your review can be positive or negative, but your opinion must be grounded in experience and logic. Additionally, your review 
must be evaluative and analytical and 
not exclusively summative. Remember readings from last week about establishing criteria. Your review should be written in a professional voice for traditional media.

 
The review must be a minimum of 700 words in length and in proper MLA format.  
Papers not meeting these expectations will not be accepted.

Grading Criteria

· Your review must be specific and name the media/ product/ experience you are reviewing. Essentially, anything you can spend time or money on can be reviewed.

· Think about how texts written for traditional media acknowledge sources. You 
must acknowledge any sources you use in your writing according to expectations for traditional media. This includes your chosen text and any other source material you incorporate. 

· Submissions should be around 700 words and in MLA style, including a Works Cited page for any sources used, including the piece of media being evaluated.

Resources

·
“Evaluation” by Liza Long (opens in new tab): A detailed look at evaluative writing including how to establish criteria and more.

·
“Thesis Statements” from UNC (opens in new window): An instructional text that looks at drafting strong thesis statements

·
“Introductions and Conclusions” from the University of Arizona Global Campus (opens in a new window): pay close attention especially to the academic introductions and conclusions sections of this reading

·
“The Anatomy of a Paragraph” by Zachary Schrag (opens in a new window): an overview of the different types of sentences that make up a paragraph

·
