Assignment Nine - Classmate Blog Critique

 Star Student

As each year passes I am left in awe at the abilities of my classmates. I want to begin this assignment for applauding everyone on finishing strong during a year that seemed impossible to finish once we started. Many of us lost jobs, family members, fell short on our goals, and overcame the impossible during this pandemic. Classes went online and we became out of touch with our peers and professors, but you all did an amazing job through it all. Throughout this class we are able to work along side our peers, drawing ideas from their prompts and improving our own writing styles through theirs. Although this was a very hard decision, as I have watched everyones writing styles improve over the last semester, I must brag about Abby Johnson. 

Abby has a clean and informational writing style. As clicking through my classmates blogs, her layout initially caught my eye. The layout of her blog is easily maneuverable along with intriguing to the eye. Once you click on her page you immediately see her latest blog with a large image relating to her topic of discussion. These blogs can become overwhelming and messy if cluttered with too much information, and Abby's layout allows for pleasant browsing of her site. As you venture into her posts, the satisfaction continues. Abby's style is well researched and educational, and I love it. As I am reading her posts, I just know they are well thought out and well researched. At the end of each post I feel as if I know more about it than my own personal topic.

All in all Abby's blog is one of the more well put together and well written blogs I have seen, and I can learn a lot from her style. As I take a more conversational and personal approach, I have grown to like her more educational style of writing and will definitely be applying it in the future. I want to reiterate what I opened this blog with stating, and that is that everyone did a great job this semester. I am in awe of my classmates work throughout these past two semesters and am looking forward to learning from you all in person next semester. Abby's style is one that is easy to navigate and even easier to learn from, I encourage everyone to check out her blog!
