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. \u00a0As a class, we have progressed into summary highlights that stem off the authors main arguments, theory and or method. \u00a0From 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.<\/p>\n

One post that can help the class better understand a historiography is\u00a0JPEREZ29<\/a>. \u00a0Jperez29 states that,\u00a0To do this we need to question where the author got his source.\u00a0<\/a>\u00a0This is one of the primary steps in understanding history writings.\u00a0<\/span>Progressing forward it is becoming easier to link other works together. Topics sometimes have similar themes, such as racism in GRAVITY21<\/a>\u00a0 and\u00a0JESSICABODE<\/a>‘s post. In Gravity21, he mentions how the author puts emphasis on blacks looting the dead bodies. 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 JESSICABODE<\/a>\u00a0, we can see how her understanding of a historiography has changed. She mentions why the author broke up Isaac’s Storm into storytelling because “it gives different viewpoints of people that saw the start of the hurricane as it made its way to Galveston.”<\/a>\u00a0GRAVITY21<\/a>\u00a0has also questioned the authors work more. In their last post, he questions the title of the book, Isaac’s Storm, stating it can lead people to investigate why it was done this way.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What has surprised me as I have reread theses works is the content in my classmates. The writing structure, use of sources, and ideology has significantly improved. 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.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
