Many of the 3rd and 4th graders were able to start their blogs last week! You will soon discover that reading your comments is a very exciting part of blogging. Today, we will work on our comments as we comment to other blogs. There are several things you must remember before you type your comment!
1. Read the post thoroughly!
2. Respond with a good comment starter, not just "yes" or "no"!
3. Proofread your work - remember everyone can read your comments too!
So, what do I mean when I say a "good comment starter"? Here are some good examples that Ms. Davis, a teacher from Georgia State University, uses with her students.
- This made me think about...
- I wonder why...
- Your writing made me form an opinion about...
- This post is relevant because...
- Your writing made me think that we should...
- I wish I understood why...
- This is important because...
- Another thing to consider is...
- I can relate to this...
- I discovered...
- I don't understand...
- I was reminded that...
- I found myself wondering...
Today, I want you to make three good comments to some of our JHH blogs! Start your commenting off to this post and tell me how you feel about blogging. Are you excited, nervous, etc?
This is a test comment.
