After evaluating the blog, Attack of the English Teacher - Evaluating Internet Sources Part 1, we gave it an 8/10 rating because it fell into our Quality Criteria list in certain ways, and they had good blog post structures. Our Quality criteria list is as follows: Voice, Expertise, Clarity and Organization, Aesthetically Pleasing, User Friendly, and Original.
In voice, they knew what they were talking about. One of the many good things they did was clearly stating their thesis within the first sentence of their blog post. The thesis talks about a computer company, IGN, that writes reviews and sells video game products. This was a very helpful way for them to tell us exactly what they were with enough supporting examples.
In expertise, they seemed to know the information and facts they wished to present, and had enough examples to support its thesis.
In clarity and organization, their blog has a clear set up that makes it very easy to navigate. The bar on the side with blog posts clearly organized by month and year which makes it accessible for all.
The visuals of this blog make it not only easy to use but give me a sense of intention and the voice of the author. The background of books on shelves, also gives a clear idea of what the blog is, full of- reading, and English related criterion.
