Peer Review 2

This blog will be the last peer review for the production phase. In this blog I will talk about the peer review activity of looking at form for Jianna LoCricchio. Her project is about college admissions.

In this peer review I tried to tell the author what she did that I could relate to as well as how I thought the form of her essay was effective. Since she just had a script, I looked exclusively at the flow of the script since I think that will be the greatest thing that will make or break a video essay. I think she got decent feedback on how to possibly make sure she keeps her focus on the issue she is discussing and not on her personal story.

I again used the organizational advice that I found in the students guides. I think the most important issue for a project when it comes to form is organizing the project correctly. I think she did a good job of this because I was able to follow her ideas clearly and see how she was using the personal story to add to her argument.

One of the thing that I was impressed by is how much a personal story can create legitimacy for an argument. I also was able to connect on a personal level which made me care more and become more interest than I would have otherwise had for a regular peer review. I think that in my own project if I can make the reader care about the story then they will enjoy it a lot more.
