when it comes to outstanding blogs I cant really say I've read every blog between the two classes. From the ones I have read I will attempt to give you examples of students I feel have outstanding blogs in humanities class.
The first blog I found related to economic advice given to Barrack Obama would be
Amanda's blog. It being filled out well do to everything being cited as well as flowing smoothly between paragraph and information for example
"I found is that the government is cutting back on giving money to things that deserve to get money. In an article I found by Paul Krugmen it states "The original plan also included badly needed spending on school construction; $16 billion of that spending was cut.
I found this to be a good example because in the blog it also had foot notes to back up what she was saying not just the quote.
Looking for blogs that show god literary analysis i found Sydney's blog to show good examples of this.
"Through his detailed and descriptive writing, John Steinbeck uses imagery to show you what is going on in the book. In the first part of this story, " the gift," the setting of the story is displayed using description. "The cowpumkpins were green and small yet. He went on to the sagebrush line where the cold spring ran out of its pipe and fell into a round wooden tub. He leaned over and drank close to the green mossy wood where the water tasted best ( Page 6.)" In sentences like these, John Steinbeck provides words that appeal to the senses. Instead of saying vague sentences, such as, He drank the best water, John Steinbeck provides background knowledge of the area without using filler words." I chose this part of her blog because not only does she quote the book and tell you exactly where it is but she breaks down a sentence to show how she is able to analyze the writing and give an in depth answer as to why the John Steinbeck is a good writer.
Looking for historical writing I found
Arrianah blog portray this well because it compares older issues to modern day problems. for example
"It was a big revolution when women were able to vote, because they were very underestimated in the work that they had put into building this country up. In an article written by Orlando Patterson, it explains how the voters progressed over the years. Like slowly over time women started voting even more then men did. In August 1920 the 19th amendment was made that gave women their right to vote."
This excerpt from her writing is a good example because it shows history and how over time things have changed. It also has an article to back up what it is saying.
For the fourth and final part I chose Isaac's blog because it not only has pictures of his pets but videos embedded into the blog to back up his information and i find that to be a very interactive part of a website, which is why I like his blog.
Although when it comes to the blog i found to be the most exciting over everyone in the entire class would have to be Sander Norris's blog which has a classy title saying "Divine moments of Truth." continuing through the blog i also found grade A example pictures of sea life and different ways of taking a picture. for example it focuses on underwater photography. which i find very interesting.
