Write a brief essay analyzing one of the readings in this chapter (or another selection, perhaps one by a classmate). Explain how (and, perhaps, how well) the selection works as an evaluation. Consider, for example, how it presents the subject in a way that is appropriate for the purpose and audience; supports the judgment with reasons and evidence based on shared criteria; responds sensitively to possible objections and alternative judgments; organizes the review clearly and logically, helping readers follow the argument.
