As a blogger, you will be commenting on other people’s work regularly. We will learn the process for commenting and providing feedback.

Good comments:

• Are constructive, not hurtful.

• Consider the author and the purpose of the post.

• Are always related to the content of the post.

• Include personal connections to what the author wrote.

• Answer a question, or add meaningful information to the content topic.

• Follow the writing process. Comments are a published piece of writing. Proofread your comment before posting it.

• Use the PQP (Praise, Question, Polish) method for making comments on other students’ writing samples.

  • The PRAISE is something the reader liked about the writing.

  • The QUESTION is something the reader found curious, confusing, or unclear in the writing.

  • The POLISH is a piece of advice or a suggestion that the reader offers to the author in order to make their writing that much better.

Think Before Posting:

• Ask yourself: What will I cause by writing this post?

• Treat other people the way you want to be treated.

• Ask yourself: Would I want someone to say this to me?

• Use appropriate language and proper grammar and spelling.
