Evaluation Essay
Assignment:
We have the opportunity to select and evaluate a subject in order to present our overall assessment by supporting it with criteria and evidence. The essay will be approximately 3-5 pages in length, incorporate at least two sources, and include a Works Cited page. Note: Any essay that does not have a Works Cited page will have the final grade lowered by one letter. This assignment is worth a total of 100 points.
Rationale:
The skills used in this assignment are essential creating a coherent essay based on criteria, justification, and evidence as well as creating a discussion based on a controlling idea (e.g., claim).
Process:
1. Select a subject that you’re familiar with that also falls under one of the following categories: commercial product/service, work of art, or performance.
2. Determine 4-5 criteria by which to evaluate the subject and determine to what degree the subject meets each standard.
3. Formulate a claim that represents your overall assessment about the subject.
4. Construct a 3-5 page evaluation essay presents your claim and supports it with criteria, justification, and evidence.
Essay Organization/Structure:
Because this essay is arranged deductively, we’ll use the following essay structure:
Introductory paragraph(s): Provide an engaging lead, background information about the work of subject, and claim.
Body paragraphs: Provide a transition, state the standard being used to evaluate the subject and why/how it’s important, followed by evidence that demonstrates the ways in which the subject meets or doesn’t meet the standard.
Conclusion: Provide an ending that “wraps up” the discussion rather than summarizes it.
Keep in Mind:
We must determine the criteria before we evaluate the subject. We must ask ourselves: What is the general subject? What are the criteria? Why are the criteria important? What is the specific subject? How does the subject meet/not meet each standard? What is my overall claim?
Also, we may use the sources we research any way we want. For instance, we may want to use sources to help present background information about the subject or to help present the evidence. No matter what, though, we must cite and document the sources.
Effective Essay:
An effective evaluation essay will have the following characteristics:
· A narrowed scope and clear, precise claim
· A clear sense of purpose, focus, and perspective
· Development of the overall analysis and evaluation
· An organizational structure appropriate to purpose, audience, and context
· Language and style appropriate to the audience and context
· Appropriate detail, information, and examples
· Proper mechanics (spelling, grammar, punctuation)
Format and Design:
Your essay will follow these format and design requirements:
· Use MLA format where in the upper left-hand corner of the first page, list your name, your instructor's name, the course, and the date; include a title for your essay using standard capitaliz.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

Writing

Mechanics
3. Definition of writing
• Writing can be said to be the act of forming the symbols: making
marks on flat surface of some kind.
• Writing is a process where symbols have to be arranged according to
a certain convention to form words and words have to be arranged to
form sentences.
• Writing involves encoding of a message of some kind: that is, we
translate our thoughts into language.
4. Principles of Writing
1. Appropriate content to the audience
• The most important element of your writing.
• knowing your audience helps you to make decisions about what
information you should include, how you should arrange that
information, and what kind of supporting details will be necessary for
the reader to understand what you are presenting
• It also influences the tone and structure of the document.
• To develop and present an effective argument, you need to be able to
appeal to and address your audience.
5. 2.Focus and Unity
Focus
Focus is the Feature of Effective Writing that answers the question “So
What”
Focus is the topic/subject established by the writer in response to the
writing task.
. The writer must clearly establish a focus as he/she fulfills the
assignment of the prompt. If the writer retreats from the subject
matter presented in the prompt or addresses it too broadly, the focus is
weakened.
6. • . Focus determines what choices the writer makes about everything
from organizational structure to elaborative details to word choice,
sentence length, and punctuation.
• At the same time, effective writers take advantage of the appropriate
supporting features to strengthen the focus of their writing.
7. Unity
Unity comes in many forms:
• Unity of pronoun: first person, third person, as an observer, etc.
• Unity of tense: past, present, future, etc. Don’t switch back and forth
(with some exceptions).
• Unity of mood: casual voice, formal, personal but formal, dry
understatement, humor, etc. Don’t mix two or three.
• Unity of attitude: involved, detached, judgmental, ironic, etc.
8. • Unity of purpose: as the first principle of writing well states, make
one point, and make it well. Authors often have a definitiveness
complex and feel obligated to make their article the last word on a
subject. There is no last word. Bite off one corner of your subject. Be
content to cover it well and stop. Every writing project must be
reduced before you start to write.
9. 3.Organization
• Organization is the progression, relatedness, and completeness of ideas
• Chronological order:Items, events, or even ideas are arranged in the
order in which they occur. This pattern is marked by such transitions
as next, then, the following morning, a few hours later, still later, that
Wednesday, by noon, when she was seventeen, before the sun rose,
that April, and so on.
10. • Climactic order/Order of importance: In this pattern, items are
arranged from least important to most important. Typical transitions
would include more important, most difficult, still harder, by far the
most expensive, even more damaging, worse yet, and so on. This is a
flexible principle of organization, and may guide the organization of
all or part of example, comparison & contrast, cause & effect, and
description.
11. • Topical order: It refers to organization that emerges from the topic
itself. For example, a description of a computer might naturally
involve the separate components of the central processing unit, the
monitor, and the keyboard, while a discussion of a computer
purchase might discuss needs, products, vendors, and service.
• Spatial order: In this pattern, items are arranged according to their
physical position or relationships.
12. 4. Sentence structure
• In English grammar, sentence structure is the arrangement of words,
phrases, and clauses in a sentence.
• The most common word order in English sentences is Subject-Verb-
Object (SVO).
• A sentence should contain a single unit of information. Therefore,
avoid compound sentences wherever possible - be on the lookout for
words like AND, OR, WHILE which are often used unnecessarily to
build a compound sentence.
13. • Check your sentences for faulty construction. Incorrect use of
commas is a common cause of poorly constructed and excessively
long sentences.
• Use parentheses sparingly. Most uses are due to sheer laziness and
can be avoided by breaking up the sentence. NEVER use nested
parentheses under any circumstances if you want to retain your
reader.
15. 5. Diction and word usage
Diction
In rhetoric and composition, diction is the choice and use of words in
speech or writing. Also called word choice.
In phonology and phonetics, diction is a way of speaking, usually
judged in terms of prevailing standards of pronunciation and elocution.
Also called enunciation and articulation.
16. Word Usage
Usage refers to conventions of both written and spoken language that
include word order, verb tense, and subject-verb agreement.
Usage may be easier than mechanics to teach because children enter
school with a basic knowledge of how to use language to communicate.
As children are learning to use oral language, they experiment with
usage and learn by practice what is expected and appropriate.
17. 6. Mechanics
• Mechanics are the conventions of print that do not exist in oral
language, including spelling, punctuation, capitalization, and
paragraphs.
• they do not exist in oral language, students have to consciously learn
how mechanics function in written language.
• For example, while speakers do not have to be conscious of the
spellings of words, writers not only have to use standard spelling for
each word but may even have to use different spellings for words that
sound the same but have different meanings.
