Writing a review is part of a blogger’s job. People who blog often have access to new products, events, or services early and can get the word out about what works or does not. It is important to choose a service/event/product that your readers should know about and be honest about how it works. For this blog, you will do just that. Your review should include:
- A title
- A descriptive summary paragraph
- An evaluation of Pros
- An evaluation of Cons
- A review
- A call to action
I am reviewing Mardi Gras, a Best Buddies party. Mardi Gras is an event held at Kettle Moraine High School every school year in March. We invite all of the Best Buddies chapter from Wisconsin, and they all come for a fun filled day of games, music, food and more. It is a great day to meet new people, buddies, peers and leaders from all around Wisconsin and see what their chapters are doing to get some new ideas.
ReplyDeleteSome pros of Mardi Gras is it is very well organized. The president of best buddies always makes sure it is organized and well put together for everyone that comes. The location is also super nice, because it is just at our high school so we dont have to travel far like some of the other schools. The last thing is new people. It is really awesome meeting new people and getting new ideas.
Some of the Cons of Mardi Gras is the set up, and planning. The planning can take up to 1-2 months to plan everything, the food that we need to come and support us, the other schools and transportation. It is all so much to set up and put together.
I really do recommend this for schools that have a best buddies program. We are willing to invite new schools every year to get more people here and get new ideas. If you have a best buddies program near you, you should let them know about Mardi Gras.
I think you picked a really good event to talk about. Your pros and cons are really detailed and you picked at least 3 good ones for each. You forgot a title and you forgot to talk about the call to action for your review though. You could of explained what they should do if they don't want to run a Mardi Gras party.
DeleteThis is really nice that the school does this for them. What does best buddies chapter mean? It would be a cool idea to have them change schools each time so everyone gets a different experience. What exactly do they do during this event? I feel like you could add a few details on pros of what they do. I agree that other schools should do this.
DeleteYour pros and cons are very good but like Abby said, you forgot your title and I felt there was slightly a call to action, but it wasn't clear. This is a topic that I've heard about but never got much detail about how it was. I felt it may have been better if you added a space between paragraphs but that doesn't affect the meaning of your piece. I overall think this is a solid post, good job!
DeletePro's and con's are really good in your blog. I didn't see a title. I'd like to hear more about how it was and feedback from the best buddies. It's a really good blog post and I enjoyed that I had the pleasure to read it :)
DeleteVery well written, but like others said you forgot a few minor details like your title and a more define call to action. Pros and cons were good, 3 strong ones for each. Possible add a few more details about Best Buddies, like what is the main purpose of this event? Otherwise good job Kenzie! It was well written and organized
DeleteI know a lot of time and effort gets put into planning these events. Would you say that it's worth it in the end?
DeleteIt's like sitting on a couch
ReplyDeleteA Tammy Fischer barrel saddle is a treeless saddle. It has a deep seat with an upright swell, this keeps the rider in close contact with the horse. This has forward hung stirrups to keep your feet from getting behind you. People should use this product distributes weight evenly on the horse's back. They absorb shock and are flexible, which causes the saddle to bend with the horse while its turning. It is a comfy saddle and it feels like you're riding bareback.
The downfall of this saddle is that it is very expensive. This can be difficult for people who can not afford an expensive saddle. The stirrups do not bend to go over the horn of the saddle which making tightening your cinch a lot harder.
This saddle is amazing because it does not weigh a lot. It makes it easier for you to put on your horse especially if you have a tall horse. A lighter saddle can make it easier for weaker people to tack up their horse. You can customize a new saddle anyway you like it, if you like bling you can put a lot of bling on it if you want it plain you can get it plain. They are able to adjust these saddles to your horses need based on their withers. These saddle do not have a tree which means it is a way softer ride. It does not feel like you are sitting on a wooden plank instead it feels like you're sitting right on your horse's back, This saddle also allows you to feel exactly what the horse is doing and how they are moving.
The Tammy Fischer saddle is worth the money. It has a nice deep seat which saves your butt from falling out of the seat. The suede on the seat makes you stick to your seat and you don't slide around as much. People who don't have the money wouldn't want to buy this saddle but if you have the money for this saddle you should buy it.
To order a brand new saddle you can find them on the Circle Y website to find a dealer near you. If you don't want a new one there are multiple facebook pages you can add yourself to them and people sell used treeless saddles all the time.
Despite this saddle being expensive, this saddle is an amazing product and it is well worth the investment.
I like how you really try to sell this product for her. In your whole blog, you are talking about how great her saddle is, and how they should buy it.
DeleteIt seems like you have a huge interest in horses and barrel riding, which I think is super interesting as well
I really enjoyed reading your blog. I find it super interesting and I can tell that you have a love for horses. I really liked how you talked about customizing the saddle because it makes it feel more personal for the reader. I do feel though that because the cons list was shorter, it would make more sense to place it after the pros so that it doesn't seem like your opening with the bad but more the good. Other than that I think you did a very good job.
DeleteI thought your title was really creative and was a good hook when I first read it. catchy. I would open with the good before the bad then end with the good again. So it's kind of left on a good note. All the details were really good otherwise with the customized saddles and all.

What It’s Like Being a Cashier.
ReplyDeleteBeing a cashier has its ups and downs. I’ve been a cashier for two months and I dont think its that bad.. yet. There are a lot of good and not so good things about this job. As a cashier it is your job to check the customer out, bag their items, and cater to any special requests. Special requests mostly consist of price matching, splitting payments, and occasionally bringing the customers items out to their car.
Being a cashier is a very easy job with low stress. Your main task is ringing up items. Occasionally you’ll have to do returns, which is just an easier way of saying that you have to put items that were returned back on the shelves. Another pro of being a cashier is the pay. At the walmart near me, cashiers are started at $9 an hour and after 6 months you get $10 an hour. I would say this is a pretty good especially for a high school student.
Being a cashier does have downfalls. One of these is having to deal with rude customers. Not everyone is rude, but when someone is, it’s just annoying. If there’s a delay it’s most likely out of my control. Another con of being a cashier is having to stand the whole time. If you have back problems, this is not the job for you. You are provided relatively squishy mats to stand on, but if you have to work an eight hour shift, it might not do much. One thing that is annoying is when people come to your lane when your light is off. We all know that the light signals whether the lane is open or not but people WILL try to sneak in as if to go unnoticed.
No job is perfect. I think these cons are tolerable and plan on continuing my work as a cashier.
