Tips for Writing a Comment on a Blog.

While trolling the Internet looking for resources for our Te Marae unit I stumbled across this video clip made by a class in the United States. It got me thinking about how  Room 11 needs to improve the quality of our comments. 

Watch the video and think about the improvements you need to make. 

What did you learn? What will you change?





Post a comment discussing the things you already do well and the things you will do now to improve your blog comments.


Now it's time to put your learning into practise, click on the links below and leave a quality comment on at least 3 of the classroom blogs on the list. Your challenge is to try and create a conversation between you and the bloggers. Ask questions or connect their information with the learning we have been doing or your own experiences. Perhaps you could even blog the class that was our inspiration for this learning.

p.s. Blog grades 3, 4, 5 classrooms.

  1. What I learnt about a quality comment?

    I learnt that we should always keep our comments positive not negative. We should have facts in our comment. We should also try and make a connection with the writer on the blog or writers. We need to be specific about what we are saying. We should ask questions at the end of our comment. We should proof read our comment before we post it. We should use only 1 exclamation mark not 1 million others may be a fended by it, they may think your shouting. We should use capital letters and punctuation.

    This is what I learnt what did you learn?

  6. You have written some great advice Keira and I can see you have thought about what makes a quality comment. Next time you will need to leave a space between the full stops and capital letters at the beginning of a sentence. How could you redraft the first sentence so it flows?

  7. Felicity, you have certainly thought about your learning and given your readers sound advice. You have even taken your thinking further by writing about what other people may find a challenge. I especially like how you have identified that you need to ask questions when you are unsure. It shows you are taking responsibility for your learning.
