An evaluation essay is a type of essay that is used to assess or evaluate something—usually a piece of writing. It can be used to evaluate anything from a book to a movie to a restaurant. When writing an evaluation essay, it is important to keep in mind that you are not simply writing a review or giving your opinion. Rather, you are writing an essay in which you will be taking a position on something and then defending that position with evidence. Look at this example of evaluation essay writing and its thesis. In order to create a perfect essay, you will need to have a clear understanding of what you are evaluating and why. You will also need to be able to support your position with evidence. Let's take a look at how to write an evaluation essay.

Step 1: Choose a topic

The first step to writing an evaluation essay is choosing a topic. The topic should be either the piece of writing you are evaluating or something related to it. It may also be helpful to choose a topic that has a specific purpose or goal. For example, if you are evaluating a book for a class, your topics could include the author’s use of literary devices, the impact the book had on your life, or whether the intended audience would benefit from reading the book.

Step 2: Define your hypothesis

A hypothesis is a statement that describes what you expect to find in your evaluation. Formulate a statement that clearly and accurately describes what you expect to discover about the object you’re evaluating.

Step 3: Collect data

You will need to gather information and evidence to support your hypothesis. Collecting data will involve reading, observing, experiencing or otherwise obtaining information that can help you support your claim.

Step 4: Form an argument

An argument is a statement that describes your position on a topic. To write an evaluation essay, you’ll need to put together an argument that explains why your data supports your hypothesis.

For example, if you’re writing an evaluation essay about a book, your argument might describe the key themes and ideas presented in the book that support your claim.

Step 5: Write the introduction

The introduction to any essay helps establish the overall tone and structure of the piece. The introduction of an evaluation essay identifies the object you’re evaluating as well as explains what you plan to prove about it.

Use active verbs to help captivate your reader right off the bat!

Step 6: Give a description of your findings

The body of your evaluation essay includes several paragraphs that provide supporting information. Each of these paragraphs should begin with a sentence that describes what you found in that particular paragraph. Keep in mind that each paragraph should contain supporting evidence and arguments.

A good rule of thumb when writing the body of your evaluation essay is to start with an example that supports your argument. After that, you can use further examples to build your argument.

Finally, you will need to conclude the evaluation essay with a summary of all that you’ve discovered throughout the process. This helps your reader understand the overall theme of your essay.

Step 7: Write a conclusion

The conclusion of an evaluation essay lets your reader know whether or not you proved your hypothesis. Use language in your conclusion to state whether or not your findings support the hypothesis. If they did, let your reader know that their assumptions were correct. If not, explain why your findings didn’t support your hypothesis.
