Making Comments
Today we will develop some guideline for leaving comments. Your comments should provide thoughtful ideas that add to the Post in a constructive way. What are some ways we can always make sure that we are able to leave good comments on our blogs?
Portable 35 Commenting Guidelines 2010-2011
- Add comments to show that you read the post and add details that shares your knowledge of the topic.
- Ask questions. Open-ended questions are best. They require the blogger to respond. This makes it more like a conversation.
- Use appropriate words/media.
- Make sure that you use good punctuation, spelling and grammar.
- Try and connect with the blog.
- Stay away from slang or texting language. Some people may not understand it.
- Be polite.
- It’s okay to give advice/suggestions.
Dear Mr. Magill
If we comment a lot and we comment good comments, do we get to post a post?
And if we made a post does it go on our blog?
How could we make a good post?
Can you make a post about: making a good post?

Mohammed,
Yes, after you have shown good commenting evidence you will get to do a guest post on our classroom blog! Also, your posts will go on your blog when you’re ready to be an author. Thanks for the idea about making a post to help students make good posts. I’ll try and write something up soon. Great questions and keep commenting.
Mr. Magill
