For this journal assignment, I want you to pick something to evaluate. It can be anything you like: a product, a movie, a book, etc. etc. It does not have to be something you will use in your final evaluation paper, but it could be. After you've decided on the thing that you want to evaluate, I want you to do the follow in 500 words:
1. Tell me what you are evaluating and why it merits evaluation (Is it popular? New? Revolutionary? Controversial?).
2. Define what category this thing is in. Is it a horror film? A romance novel? Is it indie rock? Or is it pop music? Is it functional or is its aesthetically valuable? What other items could you compare it to?
3. List THE CRITERIA you will use to evaluate your subject. You need to have at least FIVE pieces of criteria that you will use to establish the value of your subject.
If you have read Chapter 9 in Harbrace, all this should be a cinch!
