Blog Commenting Pathway

Our eighth grade language arts classes will be connecting with another school, across the state, through blogs on their own interests. This week, we will be reading the other school's blog posts and making comments.  Students usually struggle with how to make effective comments to blogs, so I created a poster to encourage them to think before they post.  Only after they have gone through the path of commenting should they post their comments.  I will also add that their comments should be at least three sentences long, but this should be obvious when going through the pathway of commenting.
