Jill’s blog review assignments
Jill has done it again! She shares her blog reviews assignment. She points us to the English version of the PDF she handed out to her students.
Jill states that she had requests for the text and grading scheme for the blog review assignment she is currently grading. She translated it into English - thank you, Jill!
Everytime I read all the excellent blog work that is being done outside of the U.S. I feel ashamed that I do not know how to speak (or at least read) another language well. Even though I went through the required foreign language classes in high school and college, nothing took! Other countries put us to shame here. It’s funny though, it took weblogs to make me really want to speak, or at least read other languages. Another plus for weblogs! I want to read Jill’s student’s work, Mario Asselin’s work and all others that I find. Hey, I even want to be able to read the Spanish comments on my own students’ blogs! As I said, I’m ashamed… I have so much to learn that I’ll never get to all of it. Reminds me of a poster I read somewhere- found it here. I love the Internet! You can find anything!
Sorry for getting off the subject so back to Jill….
Jill says, “I’ve had a few requests for the text and grading scheme for the blog review assigment I’m currently grading, so I’ve translated it into English, all the better to share it and hopefully contribute to this kind of assignment evolving further so I can improve it next time I teach this course.”
Jill advises her students:
When you write a review you should describe, contextualise and express an opinion about the work. If you interpret aspects of the blog as well, that’s good.
You need to go to her site to see the pointers and questions she suggests the students ask when reviewing blogs. I wish I could find a professor here who would be interested in this.
As if all this isn’t enough Jill posts this at the very end:
Examples of blog reviews:
One last thing, I love her new site design! It looks great! <Sigh> <Joy!> Another thing to learn. Gotta get busy!
