Reflection:
I read the blog posts of Addie and Tom and they both had some very interesting ideas. Tom brought forth the idea of using the oppositions views to his advantage which I thought was a very interesting idea. Addie did a really good job of giving enough information that I feel like I can see where she plans on taking her project.
I think that you did a really good job on analyzing the context of your controversy. It'll be useful to provide information on why some businessman disagree with the use of social media. I think that this will help clarify the argument. Other than that, I found your post very informational and clear!
ReplyDeleteI think you have a good understanding of the issues surrounding your controversy. I did find your post to be a bit difficult to read because I couldn't easily tell where the questions were, but other than that it was good.
