This PowerPoint presentation evaluates a student's media product which is a magazine. It contains 7 questions that evaluate how the magazine uses or challenges conventions, represents social groups, might be distributed, who the audience is, how the audience was attracted, what technologies were learned, and how the project evolved. The presentation is accompanied by a character named CLARENCE that provides simplified explanations and reframing of the evaluation questions.
