But this article is too long for readers, subtitles should be added to help readers understanding the content better.
  2. Hyperlinks are useful and distinctive here.Extra contents are introduced to readers in an unique style with good title and fabulous images.But for such an abundant content, more hyperlinks should be used to explain the backstory and relative informations.

  1. Interesting observations Grace. You have noted that this is a feature story (a film review), so for your assignment 1 you need to be analysing news stories of 500 words or less. I agree that subheadings were necessary to break up the text, and that the missing video was a user experience fail. What exactly would you have linked to and why? Give examples. I also think you need to be more realistic about ad placements. Ads are supposed to get in the way so we read, and maybe click on them. In terms of your web writing, you need to properly caption your feature image (who is the featured actor from Captain Marvel in the picture?). Second, your illustrations need to be larger as I can’t see the detail. Again, add captions to make it clear what I’m supposed to look at. Finally please check your spelling, grammar and punctuation before you post any assignment content.
