Good+commenting

Commenting on other people's posts is an important part of blogging. But before you start commenting, there are a few things you should keep in mind.

What were the students' tips for commenting?

1. Compliment the writer 2. Add new information 3. Make a connection 4. Ask a question

Open up Word and write four sentences about what you did the past weekend. Just write casually, but make sure your grammar, punctuation, and spelling are correct. This will last for 5 minutes.

Once everyone has completed their four sentences, we'll all get up and move one chair to the left. Read what's on the screen and write a comment to the paragraph. Make sure to include all of the elements listed above. Do this one more time, and then we'll discuss!
