Analyzing and Evaluating in Context
Analyze❑ The emphasis is on part–to -
part and part–to-whole relationships.
Evaluate❑ The emphasis is on judgments based
on a set of criteria and standards that may or may not be related.
❑ Example: Analyzing individual freedoms within the context of the Bill of Rights
Individuals analyze for two reasons:
❑ We analyze as a means to an end
❑ Or the analysis is the end
❑ Example: Evaluating how well a law upholds individual freedoms based on the Bill of Rights
Individuals evaluate based on criteria:❑ We evaluate something “in terms of”
or “based on” some sort of criteria❑ Criteria often used are Quality,
Effectiveness, Efficiency, and Consistency

Formats For Analysis & Evaluate ANALYZE always has a purpose and EVALUATE always has
criteria.
The verb ANALYZE + what is to be analyzed + purposeFor example: AH1.H.4.3 Analyze the social and religious conflicts, movements and reforms that affected the United States from colonization through Reconstruction in
terms of participants, strategies, opposition, and results.
The verb EVALUATE + what is to be evaluated + criteria to be used
For example:

impact .
