Note: Please review the source guidelines below very carefully. If you do not choose from the

assignment.
For this assignment you will write your evaluation essay. You are required to submit only your
final draft for this assignment (though we encourage all students to take advantage of the
additional feedback a draft can provide). Use the grader’s feedback and the rubric to make
revisions to your draft before submitting the final. Your second draft will be graded.

The questions in the study guides should have helped you evaluate this criticism in your
head. Now it’s time to write it down!
Your evaluation may go more smoothly if you approach the guiding questions in this order:
1. Evaluate the critic/author:
Who wrote the criticism you read? What credentials does the author have (education,
professional career, other publications, etc.)? (If you are using a credible author, you should
be able to find her/his credentials fairly easily)
2. Find the thesis of the article:
What is the thesis of the critical article you’ve chosen? What point does the author want to
make about Frankenstein ?
3. Evaluate the thesis:
1 Note: You should avoid reading Ginn’s article too simplistically. A common misperception is that Ginn is arguing in
favor of this novel being an autobiography, but if you read her article in full, you will find that this isn’t really the
case. If you misinterpret your chosen source, it will affect your own arguments, so please read carefully.
