Blog Reviewing


For my ‘peer blog review’ I’ve been reading through Claire Hopkin’s blogs.  Here are some things I noticed/found:
  1. Number of Posts
    16 blog posts currently.

  1. Quality of Posts
    With the 2 posts per week quota in mind, I figure everyone needs at least 12 substantial posts.  I think Claire meets this quota. . .
  1. A Strength
Claire has a fun voice, and good ideas for what to write about.  The blog is interesting and reads well.  Very interactive, mentions lots of different bloggers in our class and what they are writing and thinking about, and also uses lots of links outside the class.
  1. Suggested Improvement
    Go into more depth.  There are a lot of good discussions and ideas, but a lot of the time they are only mentioned on the surface.  For example, Claire wrote about wanting to examine imagery in Romeo and Juliet, so I think it would be interesting to actually pick one and look at it more closely. 
    Also, the blogs are fun and I’m a lot better about reading the shorter ones than the longer ones, but a few more longer length blogs interspersed in the shorter ones would be nice.
