1. Visit one of the of the student blogs at Blogical Minds.
2. While you are there, take notes about it in a MS word document. Can you answer these questions?

• About what are they writing?
• What kinds of things are you learning from their posts?
• What are some examples of good writing and why?
• In what ways is this student using their blog? Are these ways similar or different to how you use your blog right now?

Here are the notes we took this morning:

a post about current events, news
she asks a question at the end of the post
she added a picture

I learned that there are different ways to blog – you can learn from your mistakes on a blog
I learned a helpful safety tip from the animated “Awesome Owl”

a post to persuade people in the community not to cut down the trees to save the environment

3. Comment on a student’s blog post–see the post below for helpful ways to start a comment. You may get an idea from your notes, too.
4. Now return to this blog post and comment here so we can share what we learned. Use your notes and report on the most important thing you learned about blogging today. Remember to link to the blog that you visited.
(You may also post your comment on your blog.)
