________________________________________
This week, instead of creating your own blog post, you will again be writing comments on four of your peers' blogs. Everyone will write one comment on each of the two posts written most recently by their classmates this week (4 peers x 2 posts = 8 comments in total).
WHOSE BLOGS?: Select the blogs that belong to the four students whose names are listed ABOVE your name on the CLASS BLOGS list found in the sidebar to your right.
HOW DO I DO THIS?: You need to comment on what the person has said in the blog post you are commenting on selected. Read the rules below before proceeding......
Do not be rude.
Do not be sarcastic.
Do not just tell the blogger they are awesome or that it is the best blog post you have ever read. Do not make an inside joke.
Do not insult or otherwise demean the writer.
DO. . .
Genuinely look at what they have said about their books and respond accordingly.
Make an intelligent comment on the book, the topic or the ideas presented by the blogger.
Extend the blogger's thinking by linking their ideas to something else (another text, your personal experiences or the world).
Ask the blogger a question about what they have read or what they have said.
Offer a suggestion for another book they might like based on what they have read and the themes and ideas presented in the blog post.
Give the blogger tips for improvement based upon the expectations for each post (using quotations; checking for punctuation, spelling or sentence structure; adding length through further description or support; organization of elements on the blog).
You may also comment on the style or form of the blog itself (the design of it; the visual elements: colour, organization, font style and size; use of gadgets; readability; title and description etc.).
As a blogger, you should read these comments and respond accordingly to what your peers have posted. Fix what they have suggested, start a dialogue.
