Workshop

Global (Most Important)

·        Was the writing enjoyable—e.g. funny, interesting, easy to read, clever, unique.

·        Is the post focused on the album—using a discussion of culture as a tool not as the subject?

·        Does the critic give “actual meaning” to the artists’ “latent meaning?”

o   Does the critic give a reading of the album

o   Does the reading change how the audience engages with the album?

o   Does the reading add something to the experience of the album

·        Does the critic stay on brand regarding tone, style, and content?

o   Does the tone every break or drift?

·        Is the piece effectively organized

o   Do you get a sense for the over-arching argument being made?

o   Does the piece feel cohesive or disjointed

o   Could any paragraphs be moved

Meso (Second most Important )

·        Is the layout clean and consistent—paragraph break s, indents, title, etc.

·        Videos/links/images

o   Do they work?

o   Do they actually add something to the reading (not simply make sense)

o   Are they necessary

·        Are the individual paragraphs well organized?
