Step Three: Making Your First Comment

Go to your grade's blog. Read the posts, find one that you are interested in responding to.

At the bottom of the post, it will say how many comments there are. If you click on the word 'comments', a new page will open and you can write your comment.

Remember, a good comment :

  • is connected to the central question.
  • extends the ideas of the post. Maybe it does this by asking a question, making a connection, making an inference or adding new information.
  • uses full sentences and correct punctuation and spelling.

At the end of your comment use the following codes to show that you have followed the guidelines.
con = My comment is connected to the central question.

ext = I have extended the ideas of the post.

fs = I have used full sentences and correct punctuation and spelling.
