1.2. Best Essay

Selection and Assessment: Which of those essays do you feel is the best that you've written this semester, and why? Please remember that a complete answer is better than a short answer, and give at least two reasons to support your assessment.
  • I feel the fifth essay is the best of all my essays in the fall semester. There are 3 reasons why I feel so. First, it was easy for visitors to see, and it concluded the moderate number of sentences in length in each paragraph. Second, it might be able to please visitors thanks to 4 links and a graphic. Finally, I could write about advantages and disadvantages of digital broadcasting adequately.

* Current semester comments on essays and other posts
** Please list the most important qualities of comments on each type of blog post.

2.5. Recent comments display

Does your blog display recent comments from blog visitors in a prominent location, for example in a sidebar, header, or footer widget? Where or why not?
  • Yes, it displays them at the top of the sidebar, because it is easy for visitors and me to see what recent ones there are on my blog.

2.6. Additional reflections on comments

  • I made comments on blogs such as my friends', teacher's and classmates' ones. Wholly, I think I couldn't make good comments on them. However, I wrote only easy words when I made comments on them. Therefore, this was the only my good point about comments.

4.2. Best Book Review

Selection and Assessment: Which of those book reviews do you feel is the best that you've written this semester, and why? Please remember that a complete answer is better than a short answer, and give at least two reasons to support your assessment.
  • The book review about Freckles is the best of all my book reviews in the fall semester. There are 3 reasons why I think so. First, I could summarize the story of it briefly. Next, I wrote my thoughts about it concretely. Finally, I could write an introduction better than other book reviews.

5.4. Overall presentation

What have you done to enhance the overall presentation of your blog? List and explain the three most important content, formatting, layout, or other presentation changes or enhancements that you have made on your blog this semester.
  1. I have posted more pictures I took by my cell-phone on my blog than the number of them which I posted them on it in the spring semester. I hope it was interesting for visitors.
  2. I have started to use 'words' in order to check sentences and count how many words I wrote on my blog. To do so was very important for me to let visitors know what I wanted to say rightly.
  3. I didn't use media from YouTube until a friend of mine told me how to post videos on blogs. I wish videos which I posted on my blog were interesting for visitors to see.

6.0. Additional reflections on your blog writing

  • I posted various things on my blog in the fall semester. It was difficult for me to write 'mega essay' and a movie review. In order to please visitors, I posted videos which I downloaded from YouTube on it for the first time. Then, I checked sentences which I wrote by 'word' in the fall semester. Thanks to that, I think I could find mistakes on them soon. Of course, however, I am still poor at writing English sentences. Therefore, I will have to make a lot of efforts to be able to write them. In order to achieve it, I think I will restudy English grammar first.

7.0. Suggestions for your peers and successors

  • At first, you should write your blog regularly and finish all assignments such as essays and book reviews punctually. Then, if you have time after you get them done, I suggest that you check sentences which you wrote by 'word' to improve your writing skill. I also propose that you try to write your good blog. It may be easy for visitors to see it. In my case, I changed fonts, or I posted pictures and videos to please them on my blog. Moreover, you should practice typing in English. I feel it is necessary to pass tests of typing. What is the most important for you is that you mustn't be lazy. Even if you have little knowledge about computers and blogs, I think you'll be able to get Writing III and IV's credits if you make efforts.
