  1. Evaluating Information Reading Enrichment

  2. *Definition* • Making judgments and forming opinions about what you’ve read, before you’re reading, during, and after you’ve finished. Develop your own ideas about characters/people and events. • A good reader evaluates the information an author gives him or her.

  3. *How to Evaluate* • When reading, listening, or viewing, look to see if information is provable or not provable, first before you form your opinions, make judgments, and create ideas. • Provable= FACT • Not Provable= OPINION • Determine what’s below: • There are lions in the zoo. • The lake is forty feet deep. • Biographies are wonderful to read. • Orange juice is too sweet.

  4. *How to Evaluate* • Understand the purpose of the author/speaker/writer • The 3 different types of purposes are: • To Entertain • Make you laugh, cry, think, or feel a certain way. • To Persuade • Convinces you of something. • To Inform • Tell you facts and ideas.

  5. *When to Evaluate* • Political speeches or articles • T.V. commercials persuading you to buy a product • Telemarketers • Biographies • Let’s discuss which ones are meant to persuade, entertain, or inform. Maybe some use all three purposes.

  6. *Summary* • Evaluating Information is making judgments, forming opinions, and developing ideas about what you’re reading all before, during, and after. • This will help you to determine what you believe to be authentic and valuable information that you might either like or dislike, and it will also give you a richer understanding of an author’s purpose for providing the information that he/she did.
