Blog Post of the Week #8

Blog Posts of the Week

Blog Posts of the Week are a showcase of student-curated blog posts, highlighting exemplary blog posts that demonstrate innovative uses of key rhetorical elements of class blog posts. Students vote each week for the top two blog posts (and justify their decision) using the polls I post here. Winners earn bragging rights and other perks to be decided upon by us at the beginning of the semester.

Blog Post of the Week #8

3/21/2015

Remember to VOTE & COMMENT (on this blog post page, not the poll site) on the top three blog posts of the week. Your comments should include PRAISES & PROBLEMS.

Your PRAISES should include a brief, reflective explanation for your votes and, if you want, a comment or two about what other students' sites did well that deserves recognition; feel free to name names here.

Your PROBLEMS portion of your comment should include THREE ISSUES you see repeated throughout the blog posts that we all need to consider, address, and improve on (don't name names in this part, though).

THANKS!

I voted for Hanxin's post. I like her idea of culture's influence on self. She reflected the experience on New Year’s Eve with her family and compared it with that in Emory this year. She mentioned the different feelings, and even sadness when spending the New Year's Eve with friends in the United States, which I found really interested and empathic. It reminds me of the first New Year' Eve I spent here at Emory with my friends in my freshman year.

I voted for Mayer. What made me vote for him was not necessarily how great he did in describing his trip, but the contrast that he gave me during his description. Though he only spent few sentences on what he was like before the trip, he did a fantastic job using the least amount of words to give the most detailed description of an 8-year-old's confusion and arrogance in some sense.

I voted for Pan's blog post because I think he answers all the required question for a proposal. In his post, he describes the content and the basic organization of his memoir and also analyze the audience and the reason he writes about the incident. I think it will be better if we can add more media to our blog posts to make them easier to navigate.

I voted for Weiwei this week because I think she did a great job in combining her definitions of home -- both Shanghai and Union College. Furthermore, she demonstrated clearly why she believed that Lahiri was a good example of illustrating memories toward home.
