The Open Classroom: How to be a good commenter
The Open Classroom: How to be a good commenter
What a great idea to give students leads for their comments/responses to other students blog posts. I really like this idea and will be sharing it with my student bloggers and my teacher bloggers!
Jo’s suggested leads:
This made me think about…....
I wonder why…....
Your writing made me form an opinion about…....
This post is relevant because…....
Your writing made me think that we should…....
I wish I understood why…....
This is important because…....
Another thing to consider is…....
I can relate to this…....
This makes me think of…....
I discovered…....
I don’t understand…....
I was reminded that…....
I found myself wondering…....
These definitely promote deeper thinking and avoid nit-picking comments and responses. Thanks Jo!
