  Today we were taught how to write our magazine evaluation and we marked some other student examples of questions from the evaluation. This helped me a lot because it allowed me to establish how I should and shouldn't write, that I should include a lot of good Media terminology and how to make sure that my evaluation is the best it could possibly be. Then, we were set a task to begin writing our evaluation answer to question 2 and finish this off for homework. I used my initiative and used other resources to help me write my answer, such as using www.12924haydong321.blogspot.co.uk and I used other students' answers to inspire me. I am planning on completing this question by later on today. The difficult thing I found about this lesson was organising everything I was going to write into one paragraph, and also the marking was hard too as I wasn't particularly sure if I'd marked right and couldn't be sure that my judgements on  them were correct so I was quite uncertain. However overall it was a successul lesson as it gave me a good indication on what to write for my magazine evaluation.

Today I continued to work on my magazine. I decided to make many changes to it going accordingly with the feedback I'd received on it previously, such as adjusting font, changing my front cover banner, reorganizing the layout of all the pages, etc.. The hard part I found about this work was actually concentrating and getting along with what I needed to do without allowing anything to distract me. However, I had written feedback notes that I was able to read from as I went along so the good part about this lesson was that I was on track with what I needed to do and how I needed to improve on my magazine. Half way through the lesson, my teacher called me up to go through some of my blog work with me to make sure that I was up to date. I had missed quite a lot of lessons due to illness so I'm making sure to catch up with anything I've missed out on over the past several days.

Transcript: Today I continued to work on my magazine and got feedback from my teacher on it. She told me the weaknesses and good things about my magazine and advised me with what I should change so I wrote down notes. This helped me a lot because it allowed me to learn about what I need to change within my magazine, therefore I found it a lot easier to continue working on it and making changes. However, the hard part I found this lesson was that I found there was a lot to change in my magazine in order to make it look more professional, so I had to adjust to my feedback and prepare to change a lot to it.

Today I worked on adding descriptions for each powerpoint that I have uploaded to Blogger. This way, I have a short debriefing for each of my powerpoints which can help me for when I want to find planning documents to help me with making my magazine. The easy thing about this task was that I knew how to describe each document and I knew it would help me in the future, however my weakness in this task was that I found it hard to make my descriptions brief and short.

Here is an example of the sort of description/debriefing I added to each one of the documents on my blog:
