When I was looking through her blog I noticed how much writing she had done for her blog post she had created when she finished her magazine and contents page, compared to some of the other students. Her blog stood out to me as she had a video of the steps she took to create her magazine which I found very creative.

Her first blog post was very well written and it was evident that she had a clear understand of what the task was and what she was expected to create.

I think that Layla’s blog was successful due to the understanding of the task and how she conveyed that in her writing. She gave plenty of detail in her writing and tells you everything there is to know about her magazine and contents page. It is clear she had thought about everything in her magazine as she mentions things from the price of her magazine to mentioning the school twitter. This show she has a good understanding of the task and the audience her magazine is for.

Why Her Blog Was Successful

Looking through Layla’s blog I think there is a lot I can learn from it. For example the video she made that shows the stages of her magazine I think is very interesting and as she has shown the stages there is no need to write about them explaining and describing them, as you can see the stages.

Something else I could learn would be to include the same level of detail in my writing, as I didn’t think to include some of the details she included. When she mentioned why her magazine was £1.50 (because students would have to buy it and they are unlikely to have much money) I will take that on board and probably include it in my own work.
