-some common evaluative genres:

-critique of a set of rules, laws, or a specific policy

-evaluation of a service, a cultural movement, or a specific cultural artifact (such as a film, a video-game, a music festival, or an art installation)

-evaluation of a company or nonprofit's public/media relations and branding strategies

-evaluation of a media outlet for bias

-Why?

"why?" questions (often go unasked during award ceremonies, opinion polls, elections): help audiences make meaningful decisions, explore alternatives, and transform their lives. "Why?" questions help writers think critically about core vales and preferences, routines and motives.
