1. Where has your Blog buddy shown strong analytical work (be specific—is it a particular post, a type of analysis, a site for analysis that seemed to click more so than others, etc)?
2. How could your Blog buddy use this strength for the final Blog post and presentation?
3. Think about the following statements in relation to your Blog buddy’s Blog and then provide feedback on each area (constructive praise/criticism):
The Blog is on a topic that has been clearly evident in the Blog posts throughout the semester
The Blog is on a topic that seems to interest my Blog buddy
My Blog buddy’s topic is one that has produced a good set of posts that were analytical used gender as a primary category of analysis
The posts make analytical arguments. The posts are understandable and each post logically outlines and supports the argument presented. The posts were clear, provided insight, evidence, and analysis to connect the topic with the assignment for each of the posts
The sources cited in each post are relevant to the topic and help to aid the understanding of the argument and/or assisted in proving the argument.
The quotes used illustrate a broad range of course readings throughout the semester.
The quotes were clear and succinct; additionally, the material was presented so that I could differentiate the Blog buddy’s ideas from that of the author cited.
4. Finally, complete the following:
I thought it was great when you...
I found it confusing when you…
You’re really great at…
I wish you could focus (more) on/alter/edit/explain/expand on/etc these three things…
(Basically, when you read the Blog posts, what do you wish your buddy had done differently, more of, etc?)

You show strong analytical work when you discuss gender and hegemonic norms as seen on “Da Ali G Show,” as well as in the Borat movie. You use great examples from these two sources to discuss and incorporate very relevant course readings.
2. How could your Blog buddy use this strength for the final Blog post and presentation?
You could definitely use this analytical strength for your final Blog post and presentation. Gender and hegemonic norms have been key topics in this course, and they are also key topics found in “Da Ali G Show.” One possibility would be for you to find one overall message related to gender that you feel is most prevalent on “Da Ali G Show.”
The Blog is on a topic that has been clearly evident in the Blog posts throughout the semester
Your topic is clearly the center of all of your posts, except for the “Girls Next Door” post and the first collage.
The Blog is on a topic that seems to interest my Blog buddy
It is clear that this is a topic that you are interested in. You use many examples from both “Da Ali G Show” and the Borat movie in your posts, which shows you are very knowledgeable of the topic. You also mention in “Ali G, Hegemony, Counter-Hegemony, Oh My!” that you watch the show for entertainment.
My Blog buddy’s topic is one that has produced a good set of posts that were analytical used gender as a primary category of analysis
All of your posts are very well thought and clearly presented. You use gender as a primary category of analysis, backed up by relevant readings, in all of your topic-related posts.
The posts make analytical arguments. The posts are understandable and each post logically outlines and supports the argument presented. The posts were clear, provided insight, evidence, and analysis to connect the topic with the assignment for each of the posts
All of your posts make clear, analytical arguments. You even analyze your collage and the “Borat 101” post that you responded to. The posts are well constructed and clear, and you always use evidence from the show, movie, and course readings to connect “Da Ali G Show” to the post assignments.
The sources cited in each post are relevant to the topic and help to aid the understanding of the argument and/or assisted in proving the argument.
The sources you use, being both the show/movie and relevant course readings, are all clearly relevant to the topic being discussed. You use many examples from these sources in each of your posts as evidence of your arguments.
The quotes used illustrate a broad range of course readings throughout the semester.
You use a broad range of course readings to provide quotes for your blog, and in several Blogs you use multiple course readings.
The quotes were clear and succinct; additionally, the material was presented so that I could differentiate the Blog buddy’s ideas from that of the author cited.
Your quotes are all clearly placed within your arguments, and it is easy to tell when you are referring to a source and when you are proposing your own argument.
I thought it was great when you...
I thought it was great when you put up the video of Ali G on feminism. It’s a very funny clip from the show and it’s also very relevant, as you analyze that interview in “Ali G, Hegemony, Counter-Hegemony, Oh My!”
I found it confusing when you…
I found it confusing when you responded to “Borat 101,” because it seems like you go off on a somewhat of a tangent and stray from responding to the post.
You’re really great at…
You’re really great at analyzing “Da Ali G Show” and the Borat movie from a gender perspective. Your arguments are always backed up by examples from these sources, as well as course readings.
I wish you could focus (more) on/alter/edit/explain/expand on/etc these three things…
I wish you could include the arguments that you present in the bodies of your posts in your theses. That might make the posts a litter more clear. I also wish the lettering and/or background of your post was a different color, as it is kind of difficult to read. Lastly, I wish you could maybe include more video excerpts from the show, so that people can see first hand what you are relating to in your arguments.
