the following opening sequence was the one me and my group analysed

ASSIGNMENT #1 Blog Analysis


  • Alexa's blog is very organised to see the score of each student from draft to draft.
  • Paul shows targets but not as clearly as alexa .
  • Alexa structures well the step by step of the evaluation which makes it clearer to the reader.


  • Contrastingly Paul does not use steo by step for the evauation but uses a set of pictures to show the sequence analysis made by the group.

  • Very visual , Alexa uses lots of diagrams to get her point across.
  • Differently Paul does not use much visual posts to express his point, he uses more text.
