Today Ms. Nickles and I will show you how it is possible to develop a conversational thread in the comment section of a blog post. Some of you have done this already, but most of you have not. To give you an idea of how it works go here. As you will see, I made some mistakes! It is just as important to check your comments (for sense, punctuation, spelling, and capitals) as you do with all your other writing. If you make mistakes people won’t want to come visit again. And remember, we want to make your blogs public very very soon!
Once we have gone over this with you, please visit the blogs of classmates who read the same book as you did and write comments. (That will be two or three blogs depending on the book.) Try to think about some questions that will get a conversation going! And then don’t forget to go back to visit and add another comment. It can be fun!
