15 Aug eBook Evaluation
eBook Evaluation!!!!
eBook: All Shook Up by Glenn C. Altsculer
ebook can be purchased on Walmart ebook site for $13.30
ebook is relatively short (300 pgs with tons of pictures.. so not really 300 pages) and I WILL pay ($13.30 over normal price) for you to purchase the ebook and read it then do an evaluation.
The reason I would like to hire help is that my Father is sick and I’m his caregiver and don’t have much time to read and do this eval, as hospice care is a 24/7 job.
LENGTH: The evaluation will be limited to two-pages. Normal page margins (1-inch) will be used andtext size will be 12-pt., double-spaced. There is no need for a large header on your paper. Simply include your name at the top of thepage, either on the right or left side.
LAYOUT: The evaluation will include three sections: A) Authors argument/purpose for writing, 2)Support for Argument, and 3) Evaluation and conclusion.
ARGUMENT: Theauthors argument should encompass the overall argument of the book. Why did the author write the book? What point was the author trying to make tothe reader? This information can oftenbe found spelled out in the books introduction
– Whenwriting a Support for Argument section, the student should be very concise intheir writing. Take the authorsargument and explain how the author supported that argument in the book. Dont retell parts of the book. This section requires you to look at the bigpicture and determine the authors overall approach to convincing the reader oftheir argument. What materials did theauthor use to write the book? Did he/sheuse official reports? Newspapers? Personal papers? Other books? This is important for the reader to know in order to determine thevalidity of the authors argument
– The final section, Evaluation and Conclusion,requires the student to evaluate whether the author was convincing enough tosupport their argument. Did somethingseem to be missing? This section shouldbe brief, concise, and leave no doubt in a readers mind as to the value of thebook. Also analyze the relevance of thebook to the overall course. Does it seemto fit well in a survey course on U.S. History? Does it bring to light information that one typically doesnt find in atextbook? Does the book capture theattention of the student in such a way as to more fully engage the student inthe topic?
– avoid using the first person and make sure the pages are exactly 2 pages long.
