Looking At Other Peoples' Blogs

Video/Writing Project 1 - Assignment 2


The major benefit of putting your work on blogs is to enable you to exchange your work easily with other students. You can learn from them and they can learn from you.


On this blog there is a set of links to each section's blog addresses. Use those links to find four students blogs' in your section, and one student's blog from the other section in the same course (2 & 4, 1 & 3).

Watch their videos and read their description and analysis. For each one you watch, please leave a brief AND SPECIFIC comment. For instance you could write, "I really liked the colors in your video" or "I really enjoyed the scene with your little brother" or "Great point about how your family is the most meaningful aspect in your way of life." After you leave those comments for the other students copy and paste them into a single post on your own blog (don't forget to note who they were for). Now on the same post please write down three insights or analyses you've gained from looking at those other peoples' work.

The insights could be ones that you read in someone else's analytical writing or they could be ones you had as a result of patterns you noticed in the films. For instance you might write, "One insight I had was how common it was for people to make videos of themselves hanging out with their friends - there was scenes like that in 4/5 of the other videos. Obviously that is an aspect of our way of life that people find very meaningful."

Please check out the other blogs, post your comments, and make your comment/insight post by noon Sunday.

  1. Hey Andy,
    My computer was acting up and I had to wait for Assi to come back to do my homework so that I could use her computer , that's why it's late.

    Do you need a note from my mom?
