How to leave a quality comment

Content is key!

In our class, we evaluate our blog comments.
An ordinary comment is a general comment that doesn't add very much to the post. Example: I like your story. Please comment on my story! A super comment adds something to the comment conversation. A commenter might compliment the writer in a specific way or add new information. Another idea is to make a connection. Maybe the post reminds you of an experience that you've had. Share that connection!  Try to end your comment with a relevant question. That way, an interesting conversation can develop.

Here is a video made by Mr. Ws' 2013-14 class about How to Compose a Quality Comment!

It offers tips to help you take your comments to the next level!

We like to open our comments with a greeting and end with a closing. We choose to do this as it makes it easier for us to follow the conversation within a comment section.
