Learning to Comment on Blogs



I recently wrote about our entry into the world of blogging. Students typed their first blog post on a Friday and before the weekend was over, they had received over 100 comments.  Our next lesson was how to reply to comments. We discussed why we would want to reply and how to write a reply.  

After seeing how many comments they had received, students wanted to comment on each others posts as well.  I turned to a great student created video from some of our learning friends in California.  Ms. Yollis' class has created a wonderful video explaining how to write quality comments on blogs. If you are wanting to support your students in writing effective comments, the Second Grade Superstars gives this video Two Thumbs Up! 



Here are some comment we wrote after watching this video.

  1. @ Second Grade Superstars,

    I am so happy that you were able to learn about commenting from our How to Write a Quality Comment video. We watched it again last week, and it has helped us improve our commenting skills. The video was made a few years ago, but it is still quite useful!

    I wish you all the best as you become outstanding bloggers!

    Your friend,
    Mrs. Y♥llis
    California
