Dear Blog Reader,
Throughout this year I have been working on my
blog that is about boy bands. Over the months each blog post has gotten better.
In the beginning of the year I
first started off with the sources and short book reviews. The ones I am
talking about is the book review “A Century of Pop” by Hugh Gregory and Billboard. They don’t have a lot of details and are both really short. At that time I still wasn't really sure how
to structure those reviews so they aren't as good. The last book response I did
was One Directions “Where We Are: Our band, our story”. That one is one of my
favorites because I worked really well on it. This blog post contains a lot of
detail and I give a brief summary of what this book is about. Also this post
was a lot longer than the last one and has a good paragraph structure.
Next what I was more focused on
was writing reviews or SSR about boys bands. I would write how and when they
started, their success and what they are planning for the future. The first one
I did was of the Jackson 5. That one was a short post and tried to put as much
detail with little words. I think the best review I did was on 5 Seconds of Summer.
Even though that post is really long it contains a lot of detail and a lot of
personal opinion. I talk about how much I like them and how I am going to see
them soon. It is a three paragraph review and is structured nicely.
The blog assignments made me a
stronger writer because it gave me the chance to write freely. For example, my
One Direction post was the one where I first started to write more. Compared to
the older post that one I added more sentences because I knew what I was
talking about. Also other free writes are my poems and short stories. My short
stories are literally really short and same with my Haiku. I tried making them
really funny because that’s I had to put some of my personality into my posts.
Hopefully I will continue writing
posts about boy bands. I found this very helpful because I get better at
writing and presenting.
