essay revision 27

For your second paper you will be required to write an essay at least

5 pages long

using

evaluation to write a persuasive argument. Choose a topic and use an evaluation approach to

organize and create an argument about that topic. Review the Toulmin methods of organizing

arguments of value for guidance on how to structure your own essay.

How can we judge

your topic based on specific criteria? What criteria should we use to judge its

value? Where does the value criterion come from? A key element of evaluation is

convincing readers to understand and accept your method of judging your subject.

How does your judgment of the subject help up to better understand the subject as a whole?

Create your own criteria for judging your subject, and argue in your essay if your

subject either completely, partially, or doesnâ€™t meet the standards you use.

Your essay needs to be clear and unified under your thesis. Make sure to include specific

evidence from the article you read, to show how and why you analyzed the article the way you

did in your essay. Make sure to review the section in your textbook on proper MLA citation for

any quotes or paraphrases you use from your outside source.
