This week of the student blogging challenge is all about learning to write quality comments. We want to be able to read other people’s work and add positive constructive feedback. We also want to be able to keep a conversation going through quality posts and comments.

Commenting Tips:

Check out Mrs. Yollis and her students’ blog for tips on how to compose a quality comment.

Please refer to our Blogging Guidelines page for other helpful tips on commenting.

G’day John, I enjoyed reading your post about Talk like a Pirate Day. We also did that in our class. We dressed as pirates, spoke using pirate terms, but also found out there are still pirates roaming the seas even in modern times. Do you know how they are different to the old time pirates? Visit our class blog to read what we found out. …………….  Miss Wyatt

 

Activity 1: Write a post, create a video, or create a poster about commenting.

Activity 4: Write a post about the overseas blogs that you have commented on.

Last week you were encouraged to visit class and student blogs and read about topics that interested you. You were also asked to leave comments on their blogs to start or contribute to a conversation. Which blogs did you visit? What countries? What topics?

Activity 9: Questions in a post.

Write a post asking questions about one country mentioned in activity 4. Have at least 6 questions in your post. If your questions are interesting you might get lots of comments.
