Outstanding blogs

Looking through various peoples blogs I have seen some pretty cool blogs. We have some pretty well done blogs that deserve to be pointed out.

Diana Barlow has caught my eye when she wrote her six paragraph paper for her economic advice for Obama. She makes the point very clear with both her writing and a nice video at the bottom as a side piece of evidence she found. Her paper started out very simply of what her main objective was, as well as using a quote at the same time. "'Everyone has the right to education. Education shall be free, at least in the elementary and fundamental stages'..." using evidence if not once, twice in every paragraph.

Chandler's "Two Cents" for his honors blog was also fascinating as he established his points with page numbers as references to the book as well as quoting it from the book itself. "...he discovers that Daisy has married Tom Buchanan. 'Can't repeat the past?' he cried incredulously. 'Why of course you can!'(Page 116)".

As well as Paul's blog on "things to do on interviews"... he laid out his points in much of an orderly fashion rater than paragraph form. This form of writing is simplistic yes, but is used wisely, it can prove to be sweet and to the point, rather that to read 50 blogs that have block text.
"Generalized Questions or Prompts
Simple open-ended questions will often yield complex, unique and interesting responses. These type of questions or prompts require the individual being interviewed to lead the content of the discussion in the direction of their choosing."
Which he also bolded the topic sentence before he laid down his points
