CREATING COMMENTS


Today you will do more reading than writing, but the writing you do will require more thought and some etiquette. You are going to read your classmates posts and make some intelligent comments. Commenting is a way to connect with the author. This allows an interaction between author and reader. Colleges are now asking students to comment on their assignments and readings through blogging formats.

Here are some guidelines for our class blogs:

Post meaningful comments: “ Good job!” “Right On!” might make a person feel good but it doesn’t tell him what you liked.

Be specific: “You made a good point about making friends by joining clubs, that’s how I met my best friend”

Add to the conversation: “I agree with you about skipping, but not paying attention to class assignments is just as bad."

Respect each other: You can disagree with what a person has written without being disrespectful to that person.

Make 5 great comments.
