Original Paragraph:
Centuries before Europeans came to the New World, great civilizations had already arisen in Central and South America-the civilizations of the Maya, Aztecs, and Incas. The Maya, in Central America, were the earliest of the three, starting as far back as 500 B.C. The Aztecs developed their empire much later, and flourished in what is now central Mexico. The Incas thrived about the same time as the Aztecs, and lived in the Andes Mountains of South America. In this section you will learn about these great early civilizations, and about several smaller Native American cities in the lands that would become the United States, inhabited by peoples who were here long before the Europeans started their small settlements at Jamestown and St. Augustine.
Now I am going to do an evaluation of this Paragraph:
This is a very good paragraph, and it has lots of information. It is a very nice paragraph and now I know more of these civilizations.

A strong evaluation needs a couple of features that your paragraph here does not have, Katie. First, you need to provide some kind of criteria for judging the quality of the passage. Then you need to cite the evidence from the passage that proves it is a good paragraph. What is effective about it? --Mrs.Z.
