2. Pick the person who is going to have their blog reviewed first. Once time starts, the person to the left of them will read aloud the blog of the person being reviewed. The person who wrote the blog post, the reader, or the third reviewer can interrupt the reading at any time to ask questions or provide feedback. Do not stop discussing the review until I call time. Remember, you can do actual composition work and revision during these reviews. Some questions you may want to consider are:
   
   
   • Is the review relying too much on the background material or saying that the artists' intentions unequivocally explain the meaning of the album? (Neither are good.)
   • Does the review bring in relevant outside information that provides a context in which we can understand the album, or does it rely merely on a "navel-gazing" analysis of the album?
   • Does the author spend too much time discussing lyrics?
   • Does the author discuss the impact of the sound, or does she focus on pedantic descriptions of the sound?
   • Does the author provide a reading of the album, simply give an opinion, or simply describe the album?
   • Is the author's post on brand? Is that brand interesting, unique, and enjoyable to read?
   • Does the author fall back on track-by-track analysis, or discuss the album as a whole? (the latter is preferred for this assignment.)
   • Is the voice, tone, and grammar of the writing easy to read? Are the errors or "writing ticks" that throw you out of the reading?
3. Let's discuss the upcoming blog post, the upcoming worksheet, the readings for Thursday, and the library session.
4. Discuss types of source integration.
