Participation Procedures
These procedures detail the requirements for both answering blog posts and replying to others' comments.
ANSWERING BLOG
POSTS
- ALL STUDENTS must CHOOSE ONE QUESTION and answer
- Student questions go on the proper post. Hit the "Student
Questions" tag on the side of our blog.
- Be sure to use complete sentences and let the class know which
question you are answering.
- Check your spelling and grammar! (Type in Word first, then copy and paste!)
- State details from the novel to support your answer.
- Always make a connection and include them in your answers (text
to text, text to self, text to world).
REPLYING TO OTHER STUDENTS'
ANSWERS
- ALL STUDENTS must reply to at least 1 other student's answer.
Try to keep things interesting. If you see someone has already replied to a
person's answer, try to find another person who has not gotten a reply yet. HIT
"REPLY" below a comment to reply to it.
- Try to begin your reply with a positive statement about that
student's answer.
- Add to the discussion by including more connections you made,
or more specific details from the
novel.
- All replies should be constructive and add to the educational
growth of our class.
- Be respectful of others. If you disagree with another student's
answer you may say so POLITELY and explain your reasons
why.
Lastly, keep it positive and have fun!
