Evaluating Sarah Bown

Quantity: Sarah has many posts relating to her theme of art in Shakespeare; there are enough and varied posts to get a good picture of her research and her studies.

Content: She has a good mix of exploratory and expository posts, and certainly some are casual while some are analytical. I think she blends these two different syles well. There are many images showing different art representations of Shakespeare, and there are a couple examples of other types of media.

Format: She utilizes the Jump Break really well, some posts are tagged with subjects, and her titles are generally helpful.

Thematic Focus: The blog has a clear theme, but the hub post doesn't show much development (it simply labels the posts, without any links.)

Thesis & Cohesion: Her hub post details the thesis well, but there aren't any links to previous posts to make them easier to find.

Sources: Sources are appropriately cited and linked throughout the blog; no specific post of references linked to hub post.

Author Identity: Good "About Me" section, personal picture, personally connection to topics, and overall design of the blog.

Interactions: I was impressed with how well Sarah connected with other students through their comments on her blog. She interacted nicely and referred to outside interactions throughout her blog.

Design: The design is appropriate and interesting, and the side content is helpful and appropriate, not distracting in any way.
