Category: Peer Reviews

Hey Grace,

Who is an Australian?

I chose to go back to the start for my last peer review, and I’m really glad I did.

I don’t have any ethnic background other than Australian, but over the past year I’ve been with my partner who is Lebanese. It was gratifying reading your experience with your definition of “An Australian” compared to your experiences as a Lebanese women.

I really liked your last line

“Without each community, Australia would be a little less multicultural and diverse”

This resonated with me looking back onto the unit and how we have learned so much about the Australian Identity and how that transcends into literature.

I also really liked the two flags as your image.

Thank you!

Week 5 – Critical, Art gallery Visit

Hey Charles,

I enjoyed your response to our art gallery visit and what works that you found challenging/interesting.

I particularly liked how you started in outlining the works that were depicted, namely – The Gold Rush, Colonial Frontiers of Australia and Early Indigenous Artworks.

Additionally, I found your favourite works (specifically the Ned Kelly artwork) an interesting choice. Your explanation accompanying it also helped my understanding.

From a readability point of view, the only criticism I could make is utilising structure to your advantage. Your points would have been even more impactful if they were structured with paragraphs as well as it would make it easier on the readers eyes.

Looking forward to reading more of your work,

Serena Doran
