    Evaluative Sentences

    Sentence Structure

    • An evaluative sentence typically follows a specific structure:
      • Claim (main argument or point)
      • Evidence (supporting detail or fact)
      • Reasoning (explanation or justification)
    • This structure helps to build a clear and convincing argument.

    Claim Evidence Reasoning

    • Claim: a statement that expresses a judgment or opinion
    • Evidence: a fact, statistic, or expert opinion that supports the claim
    • Reasoning: an explanation of how the evidence supports the claim
    • Effective use of claim, evidence, and reasoning helps to build a persuasive argument.

    Evaluative Language

    • Evaluative language is used to express judgments or opinions
    • It involves using words or phrases that convey a positive or negative tone
    • Examples of evaluative language:
      • Positive: excellent, outstanding, impressive
      • Negative: poor, inadequate, disappointing
    • Effective use of evaluative language helps to convey a clear opinion or judgment.

    Analysis Techniques

    • Analysis involves breaking down information into smaller parts to understand it better
    • Techniques used in analysis include:
      • Identification: identifying key points or features
      • Classification: grouping information into categories
      • Comparison: comparing and contrasting information
      • Causal analysis: identifying cause-and-effect relationships
    • Effective analysis helps to identify patterns, relationships, and themes in information.

    Evaluation Criteria

    • Evaluation criteria are the standards or benchmarks used to make judgments or assessments
    • Criteria can be explicit (clearly stated) or implicit (implied)
    • Examples of evaluation criteria:
      • Quality: effectiveness, efficiency, reliability
      • Impact: significance, influence, consequence
      • Value: importance, relevance, usefulness
    • Clear evaluation criteria help to ensure that judgments or assessments are fair and consistent.
