Evaluating Credibly with Evidence Of The Walking Dead

An evaluative essay assert a clear thesis and support your thesis convincingly with reasons, evidence, comparisons, and counterarguments (when appropriate). Incorporate at least three sources, as you may have to use these to describe/define your subject, to back up your argument, or to present a countering opinion. One source can be a visual (chart, graph, illustration, photograph, etc.). Cite your sources using MLA format, including in-text citations and a Works Cited page.

Your tone and style should fit your subject. For example, a political evaluation should have a more serious tone than a video game evaluation. No matter how conversational or academic your tone, avoid superlatives (“It is the best comedy every written”) and oversimplifications (“Two thumbs up!”). Remember your job is to create an in-depth analysis, not make a sales pitch.
