When the class started the blogs, it seemed no one really knew the parameters to what we needed to post. If you look back at the first posts it reads a summaries with little interpretation.  As a class, we have progressed into summary highlights that stem off the authors main arguments, theory and or method.  From there we have taken this blog structure into our class. When someone posts for a particular assignment, they are usually the ones to speak more in class that day. The class has favored the theme approach.

While in Jessicabode’s post she talks about how O’Leary was to blame for the fire. If we take a look at a more recent post by  , we can see how her understanding of a historiography has changed.

The main idea that might be worth revisiting is how to structure the blog posts. I know for me, I not always positive on what needs to be covered.
