Be a Quality Commenter!

WALT: give quality comments to blog posts


We have been learning about the purpose of commenting on blogs and why it is important to give a quality comment.
The reason that we write a blog is for people to read it! We can show that we have read and understood something by writing a quality comment for a post.
A quality comment has the following things:
  1. Correct spelling and punctuation.
  2. A comment that relates to the post.
  3. A question or additional piece of information
  4. No personal information or details.
A comment like "Great story!" might show enthusiasm but it doesn't give the reader any extra information. Instead you could write something like "Wow! Your story about camping in the summer holidays was really interesting. I laughed at the bit where you wrote about your tent falling down. Did it stay up for the rest of your holiday?"

I found this great video by some students in Mrs Yollis' Class in California. They are great at commenting on blogs! They have heaps of other cool stuff on their blog too. You should check it out and comment on it!


Reading Week 9

For your reading task this week, I'd like you to comment on this post. Look at the criteria above and make sure you are writing a quality comment!

      Hi Izzy,

      I agree, videos are a great way to learn. I am trying to find videos that fit in with things that we are learning. I think that the class could help by making videos like our grammar ones.

    Hi Mrs Carryer and Room 34,

    What a cool blog you have! We have been learning about writing quality comments too. We also looked at Mrs. Yollis' class blog and learned how to write quality comments as well. Like your class we learned a lot from her video and blog posts about making quality comments.

    So far we have enjoyed commenting on our blog and we are looking forward to commenting on other classes. Look out for our comments to your class in the near future.

    From Ms. Lologa and Room 19
