ENC 1101 Blog #5

For this blog you are to visit: http://natashasenc1102.wordpress.com/ This is the class site for my 1102 classes. Click on the page "Class Blogs". Here you will find a list of all of my 1102 students hyperlinked to their blogs. Visit 2-3 blogs and read their latest entry discussing Skid Row. You do not have to know anything about Skid Row. One of the goals of this assignment is for you to practice peer review by pointing out writer errors based on what you have learned thus far, and for 1102 students to learn whether or not they are fulfilling reader expectations.

Therefore, your job is to read their entry and leave a comment about their entry. Your comments should be insightful and demonstrate critical thinking skills in addition to critiquing the manner in which the writer is discussing their topic. For example, think of what you have learned so far, is the writer taking his reader/audience into consideration, does the writer give background information, old information before new, does the writer have an interesting tone/style that keeps the reader engaged, does the writer sound fair and objective or the complete opposite.

You should comment on at least 2 bloggers pages, print your comments out and bring the printout to class. Keep in mind that some students have their privacy settings set up so that it is unavailable to the public, therefore you will not be able to acces some blogs. Also, if you come across a blog and there is no entry on Skid Row then find another student because that means that the student did not enter an entry.

Have fun.
