Evaluations essay on a skills dvd - how to start it?

Hi.

I have to write an evaluation on a skills dvd that I took part in. So i have to evaluate my self and the skills I used.

Anyhow i was wondering if you could help me on how I would start this essay? Do i need to tell the reader what Is going to be in the essay evaluation to begin with??

Thank you

If I were you I'd structure an evaluation essay like this:

Intro - Summarise what you did in the DVD, and write something to introduce each body paraghraph (e.g. "I thought that we could have improved...." then use this as the main point of argument for oneof your body paragraphs)

Body 1 - 1st point of argument

Body 2 - 2nd point of argument

Body 3 - 3rd point of argument

Conclusion - summarising your arguments and wrapping up the essay

Essentially keep this in mind:
Summarising
Identidying a Position
Give reasons for that position

Hope this helps :)

It sounds tough. This is the kind of essay that is difficult if you do not know exactly what your purpose is. Are you really sincere about evaluating yourself? If so, list several criteria for evaluation.

When you look at each criterion, rate yourself from one to ten and write a paragraph about it. When you put the paragraphs together, and each paragraph has a number from one to ten, it will be a solid evaluation!

When you have several paragraphs, go back and write the intro.
