Commenting on students’ blogs from other countries2

Today I would like you to have a look at some other student blogs and comment on them if you feel you want to. Please include the address of your blog in the URL space of the comment. This means that the person you are commenting to can click onto your blog and leave you a comment as well. When you are commenting think about asking a question. Some sentence starters for comments which I got from Anne Davis , a teacher and a blogger who has great ideas, are here:

  • 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…….

    • Blogs from other countries: check these year 9s in Brazil who are learning English: http://brazil.eslblogs.org/3emes06-7/ and here are the blogs from the students at Snow Lake, a remote part of Canada: http://mr-fisher.edublogs.org/

     These blogs are from the year 8s in Upwey: http://susaneights.learnerblogs.org/

     And these are from a year 6 class in Australia: http://lifeandtimesyear6.blogspot.com/

    When you have read a selection of student blogs (usually linked to the side of the class blog which is the link) and commented on a few, write a blog entry of your own on the most surprisinf thing you found out by doing this.
