Title: Evaluation Essay


1
Evaluation Essay
  • What the heck does that mean?

2
Evaluation
  • Evaluating something means to judge it in terms
    of its importance, usefulness, or degree of
    goodness.
  • These ideas are what we call value what we
    think about something based on a set of standards.

3
Standards
  • Standards are those things that we measure other
    things to.
  • For example, what makes something important or
    good?
  • A lot of our values are expressed in terms of
    like (I like this) or need (I dont need one
    of these).

4
Values Standards
  • Where do we get them?
  • From our parents, family, friends, etc. What
    others like or value, we tend to like or value,
    too.
  • From our experiences. What has been good in the
    past is likely to be good in the future.

5
Standards
  • How do they work?
  • First, you have to identify the elements that
    make something valuable.
  • Then, you need to identify the standard scale
    that will apply.
  • Last, you compare the elements in what is being
    evaluated to the applicable standards.

6
Example
  • Lets evaluate a movie. Well call it Invasion of
    the Star Wars Clones South Georgia

7
Movie Evaluation
  • What standards will we apply?
  • First, we need to decide what makes a movie a
    good movie.

8
Movie Standards
  • For the purpose of this example, lets look at
    these elements
  • Plot the story and what happens
  • Cinematography the way the movie is filmed.

9
Setting the Standards
  • Plot What makes a good story?
  • It has to be interesting
  • It has to have reasonable conflict
  • The outcome has to be happy
  • Cinematography What makes the movie-making
    good?
  • Clear, steady picture (not shaky)
  • Great special effects
  • Good music that doesnt detract from the story

10
Invasion of the Star Wars Clones South Georgia
  • Plot the story tells of Star Wars clones
    landing in a field outside Tifton and taking
    over the Tifton Mall. No one notices that
    anything is different until pets start
    disappearing.
  • Weak story not very interesting, no real
    conflict, lacks a happy ending

11
Invasion of the Star Wars Clones South Georgia
  • Cinematography filmed using a hand held digital
    camera, no additional lighting was used, many
    scenes shot at night and hard to see, characters
    make up looked fake, the pets were clearly
    stuffed animals, no music only interstate
    traffic noise
  • Hey, what can I say this is not a good movie!

12
Evaluation
  • Based on our standards, this would be what kind
    of a movie?
  • Thats right, it is a bad movie.
