Comments for Classmates

Find your name in the groups below.  

Step 1:

Read the Object-Inspired Pieces of the classmates in your group and leave a comment with 3 specific, supportive and complimentary remarks regarding the piece and how it was written.   Nothing critical or suggesting changes at this point...

Include a greeting at the beginning of your comment (like "Hi, Taylor!) and a brief statement of encouragement at the end of your comment (like "Thanks for sharing this!" or "I look forward to seeing more of your work.")  Go beyond a short, generic comment and get specific. As in:  "You really got me with that twist at the end--I would have never guessed it was her sister stalking her all along.  Creepy!"  Or:  "Your use of dialogue was effective and pulled me into the story.  I never thought a conversation between a little boy and his baseball could sound so natural."  Don't cop out and put a rushed, generic comment like, "It was good" or "Nice job."   

Step 2:

Read the person's I am...Poems and leave a friendly comment naming 1 thing you find interesting about the person and 1 thing you might have in common.

Step 3:

Read the person's color-inspired poems and leave a comment naming at least 1 line you really like in each.

Step 4:

Then copy and paste the comments you made into a New Post on your own blog so I can quickly give you credit for offering feedback.  You can title the post "Comments for Classmates."
