Peer Review: Strategy Project

First, read through each others’ statement of purpose and design plan. Then, show your group members your project, or have them read through it or listen to it. Give each person in your group a few minute to present their project before you discuss it as a group.

• For authors:
  • Discuss the challenges you faced/are still facing while completing this project. What do you still need help with? What are you most concerned about?
• For reviewers:
  • Complete this checklist with the author:
    • Is the project MULTImodal?
    • Do all modalities work well together? Does the form of the project make sense?
    • Is the author’s purpose (NOT just their topic) clear throughout the whole project?
    • Is the project appropriately suited to the author’s intended audience?
    • Are the author’s style and tone appropriate for their purpose and for the genre of their project?
    • Does the author use the scholarly sources they discussed in their annotated bibliography?
    • Are the author’s sources cited properly? Is the author citing any images they’ve used?
  • How does the project make you feel as an audience member? What is your response after reading/viewing/listening to the project?
  • What were the most effective parts of the project? Why were those parts so effective?
  • Where does the project fall short? Why? How might the author revise to address the issue?

Reflective Writing: Blog Posts

Open a blank document in your in class writing folder and respond to the following questions:

1. Many classes have informal writing assignments like this – Moodle discussion forum posts, reading response journals, chapter summaries, etc. How do these kind of assignments help you? What do you find challenging about them?
2. How did you approach the blogging assignments for this class? Where were you able to connect your responses to the post prompts to what we discussed in class? What were the most helpful posts? What were your favorite posts?
3. We’ve looked at many different genres of writing this semester, including blog posts and online articles. What are some of the key features of what you consider to be “good” or “effective” online content? What do the posts feature? What does the writing sound like? What does the writing do? Why are all those features important?
4. Look back at your posts this semester. Where do you see yourself making use of the features you just mentioned in your response to Question #1?
5. Given the list of important online content features you created, where do you see your posts falling short?
6. If you had to evaluate your contract standing for your blog post quality, not just the quantity, what would your contract standing be and why?
