In writing to evaluate the rhetorical knowledge you should consider is the audience that is depending on your scenario, your purpose which is where you evaluate your discipline by the criteria, and your voice and tone should be professional. The qualities that you need in order to write an effective evaulation are: a clearly defined criteria, comparisons that are based upon the criteria, and an anlysis of why the visual affects your criteria. When you are reading an essay you should take notes, jot down questions, and make some observations about the essay.

Before you write your full draft you should make sure that the you emphasize what you want.
