Peer review #2

This week I had to review two blogs centred around digital media. In this post, I will discuss what I have learned during this reading task week. 


This is my second time doing something like this; however, I was told to learn a new way of giving feedback, and this method itself is pretty much summed in five words that form a single word. The word is called SPARK, and the words that created it are:

  • Specific- comments that are to a particular word, phrase and sentence  
  • Prescriptive- it offers a result or technique to improve the task, including possible revisions or links that can be helpful to the resources and examples that are available.
  • Actionable- when the feedback is given to the person that you are reviewing will know what points to take for improvement.
  • Referenced- the feedback promptly references the task standards, requirements or the target skills.
  • Kind- it's important to remember to have the comments that you are going to post on the blogs that they should be in a supportive way. 

It’s important to remember that having a good review empowers the writer with the proper meaningful progress while generating the reviewer's ability to analyse a text’s potency. Another good way to give someone a way to provide good feedback independently is to use group and class discussions to share their feedback with others to learn how to provide the needed input.

For my thoughts on this, as I said before in my last peer review id say the most challenging part of giving feedback would have to be not upsetting the person that you are reviewing. You have to be mindful and caring and give them insights on how to improve their academic writing skills and make sure that they have all their punctuations in like full stops and commas, all of that. 

I’m getting more I used to it now. Providing feedback, i actually don’t mind doing it. I think its a good lesson in doing it getting used to the fact of letting people know how to improve their writing skills or having people tell you how to improve your writing skills.

Looking Back

This week I finally wrapped up the group project I had to do over the past few weeks. This took a while to do with all the research that everyone had to do to get everything right and ready to go for this project.  My room with Microphone/IPad Pro using GarageBand  Shot by an iPhone camera  For this project, we had to shoot a video talking about how gaming has changed, and it's good or bad. What I mean by that is that in terms of being good would be that the graphics of a game looks good and detailed. There’s a lot of content in the game itself, and with the evolution of technology, game developers can quickly implement and build up their games. The wrong side of this, however, is the continuation of microtransactions which can lead to gambling which would lead to children’s parent's losing their money because they are spending it on weapon skins and clothing items for their character in a game.  That’s what I generally talked about for this project and how I did it ...

Revising writing

This week I had to read some readings detailing how to be good at reading and writing essays. They are listed below, which are Writing strong paragraphs. Paragraph structure This reading mainly focuses on what is a paragraph and how you go on writing one, and what not to put in a paragraph. This can quickly be done by splitting it up into three paragraphs such as the beginning, the middle and the end. A paragraph would usually be around 250 words that would mainly consist of approximately five or six sentences. The beginning section would usually consist of an idea which would have to be the critical information first before anything else and must be explained very clearly before moving onto the second paragraph. It is also known as the topic sentence. The second paragraph would mainly consist of explaining the idea that was first introduced by the topic sentence. Only this time, you would have to provide evidence of the concept and some examples and define why it is relevant. It is al...

Rewrite #3

Image
Changes For this week, I have to rewrite my blog for the third time. Which blog? The Media ethics blog. It is currently one of the best blogs that I’ve written. Also, it has the most comments on it, which is around six comments with good positive reviews with one criticism saying that I should expand on my thoughts on the videos in the blog that I had to review on.  For the changes, if I’m going, to be honest, I haven’t changed anything much. I mean, in rewrite #2, I’ve made the necessary changes overall which there isn’t much that I can change. If it were another one of my blogs that I could make changes to, it would’ve been good. However, I can only think of two changes that I can change, and they are: Fonts:  I never really have used any of the fonts here, so I thought, why not and mess around with fonts to see if I can find what I like and will probably use the one that I will like.  Subheadings: I have added subheadings already, but the only difference that I’ve made...
