Let’s revisit three or more of your classmates’ blogs. Has anything changed in the second half of the semester, particularly as we have learned to rely even more on our online communication? What kinds of things are you noticing? Maybe look at one or two that you looked at the first time I asked you to look at your classmates’ work, but also look at a few that you didn’t look at before.

In blog #5, we were asked to visit three other student’s blogs and leave comments on a post. I will be going back and seeing how their blogs have changed since my initial comments, as well as a few others that I didn’t comment on before.

Erica’s blog has been awesome since the beginning; but I think everyone in the class has improved from their first blog post. When we first started the semester, we learned a lot about analyzing rhetorics, whether from articles or music videos. Over the semester you can tell that Erica has gotten more comfortable with analyzing these rhetoric situations as the weeks go by and her mom jokes she includes get better and better.

I didn’t comment on Kayleigh’s blog for blog #5 but as the semester has gone on, we have became friends so I wanted to read hers and check them out. I want to start by saying her blog title is catchy, but the way she writes her blog is even better. Kayleigh’s blog posts are personal and very casual, kind of like if she was talking to a friend, and I love it! As the semester goes on, you can tell the lengths of her posts get longer each time! I also love how she titles her blogs; instead of using #1, #2, #3, etc. like me.

Han’s blog is very creative and caught my attention right away! The title cracks me up as well. Han’s blog, throughout the semester, is pretty awesome. He uses a lot of gifs and has the format of his blog down good. It’s very relatable!

I love reading Mikey’s blog because I feel like I can hear it in his voice. My favorite post, What to Expect When You’re Expecting (to die from COVID-19), shows how he can answer a blog prompt, but turn it into an attention-grabbing post I want to keep reading! It keeps me interested in what he is going to say next. I think he should blog for real.

Since we’ve switched to online communication due to COVID-19, I think everyone has gotten a little more invested in their blog posts. They’re longer, they’re hilarious, and you can tell every one is bored out of their minds. I’m glad that we had these blogs to write. It’s something to do and helps make light out of the situation we are in.
