Writing Reflection 6

(Part 1)  I would like you to visit 3 classmates blogs, and leave meaningful and significant comments that encourage a discussion. When you leave a comment, I want you to cut and copy the page specific blog address/URL and post it in your blog as part of your Writing Reflection.

Comment 1

My first comment I left on someone’s blog was Lexi’s. I saw she had a picture of a sad looking student that had projections around her of judgement.

Comment 2

The second comment I left was on Hannah's blog (not the one in our afternoon class). She did a post about an old show that was on PBS when we were little. I decided to post a comment because I loved the show.

Comment 3

The last person's blog I commented on was Kaitlyn's (in our class) blog. She had posted a personal addition about Lolita dresses. I like the dresses she posted.

(Part 2) I also want you to discuss how the process of commenting went:

• Where did you leave comments? Why did you select that post to comment on?
• What are the characteristics of a "good" comment?
• What are the characteristics of a "bad" comment?
• What are some benefits to commenting on other people's blogs?
• What are the benefits to receiving comments on your blog?

I left comments on people’s posts that sounded interesting to me and that I could connect with. I think a good comment included questions and if you can personally connect with the topic. I think that a “bad” comment would be a one sentence comment and not really going deep into the topic. I think commenting on other peoples blogs is a fun idea to do because it shows them that people care about what they are posting. If no one comments, it probably will make the person feel like blogging is just a waist of their time. I haven’t received any comments on my blog.
