ReplyDeleteHello Anneleise,
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed reading your blog post as it was very informative. I liked how you also included a video of the song and facts about the song; it was interesting that the phrase naturally just came into John Lennon's mind during an interview. Anyway, your blog post was clear and straightforward. Keep it up!
Hi Anneleise,
ReplyDeleteI like how you lay-out your blog post into portions and adding a title according to what that certain part is about. I also like how you included a video of the song but next time could you please make sure the video is available. As well as the lyrics of the song big enough so it is readable. Overall, it is a clear and straight forward blog post. Keep up the good work. =)
