My Reflective Process


Reviewing your work is really important. By reflecting on your work and what you have produced you can see areas you may need to improve, check spelling and grammar, look over the content and what you may need to add. This blog post is my personal view of my own reflective process. It shows my strengths and weaknesses, how I learn, what I learn etc. Hopefully it will help me to improve the work I produce to a higher standard. The website I used to create this bubble diagram is bubbl.us. It was really easy to use and only took a couple of minutes to create. I plan on using this website in the future to help me revise and organise my work.

WAG's



The WAG's (wives and girlfriends) have a desirable look for many women. They have the designer clothes, flawless hair and makeup, and of course a diamond ring on their finger. For those who want to imitate this glamorous look for themselves, The WAG academy is on hand. It is a course run at West Cheshire College, women who enrol on the course have the chance to "create Disney Princess hair, orange fake tan, and the famous Scouse brow" in the hope of getting the right look to attract a footballing boyfriend and future husband. The WAG look is all about big hair, false eyelashes and full make-up. At the college, women are taught how to perfect the smoky eye, how to apply false lashes, how to get a voluminous hair style and to choose the right foundation.



          For those who can't afford to go on this course, Youtube offers many great tutorials to look just like your favourite WAG. Videos like this one show how to get the queen of WAG's make-up look, Victoria Beckham. Websites such as WAG World Online, feature glamorous dresses at affordable prices to achieve the ultimate WAG look.













Similarities and differences between a blog and website



A blog is fairly different to a website. A website is generally a site to publish information; a blog is normally a bias view of someone's own opinion of a topic. For example, BBC Sport is a website featuring recent football news, topics, fixtures and comments. Football Blog is a blog also featuring most recent football news, but is more opinionated.
        A blog features many posts, all dated, displaying most recent at the top of the page. A website will also have posts, but they are more like articles or stories. The blog will have a heading, as do many websites. It will feature quick links to archive posts dating back to when the blog was first published, whereas a website doesn’t, however it does feature links to recent pages. They both have the chance to post a comment on the story or blog. They both have hyperlinks to social network sites such as Facebook and Twitter. Websites usually have text, photographs and videos, whereas blogs normally have just text and photographs.
