Leaving comments is an important part of blogging. For this task you will go to the following locations and look at the work that is on display.

You need to choose two of the links that are below and leave a comment on a piece of work at that persons class page or individual page.

When you leave a comment proof read through your comment before it is saved, check that there are no spelling mistakes and make sure that you leave your first name only, Room 8, Melville Intermediate, Hamilton, Waikato (and New Zealand if its overseas).

  1. Hi from the deep south! My Year 5/6 are just learning about blogging and would appreciate any feedback you can give them... Tell Mr Webb off for not putting us in your blog roll. It is partly his fault that Ms Bee is shifting from wikis to blogs!

  3. @ Bjork,

    The comment that you left on our third grade blog is much appreciated! I like how your teacher is teaching all of you about how to comment and how to be a part of an online community. That is an important skill in today's world.

    In addition, I like how you proofread your comment. Your sentence started with a capital letter and had punctuation at the end. That kind of attention in the writing process is important.

    :-)
