The first step in blogging is not writing them but reading them. -Jeff Jarvis

Tomorrow is back to school. Therefore, it will be a great time to talk about the importance of commenting with your students. Giving feedback is one of the most important parts to making the Slice of Life Story Challenge meaningful, both as a reader and as a writer. If we become better writers by reading, then we become better bloggers by reading other people’s blog posts.

Details:

  1. If your students are slicing from their personal blogs, then you should link their blog posts together using your classroom or personal blog. Then, share the unique URL to the location of the “round up” of student slices. (Click here to find out what a unique URL is.)
  2. Only post the link to your students’ slices of life here. Do not post the link to your personal slice of life stories here. Post your personal slice of life story over at the daily call for individual slice of life stories.
  3. If this is the first comment you’ve left on Two Writing Teachers, then we will have to moderate your comment. Ruth and I will be checking throughout the day in order to get your links up for the community as soon as possible. As long as you use the same username/email to log in going-forward, your comments should appear instantly in the future.
  4. Any questions, please contact one of our concierges. (Click here for more information on how to work with our concierges.)

  12. Thanks to everyone who has already commented on my kids’ posts. What a wonderful community of support! 🙂 It is so appreciated. I hope to do some commenting later today. I’m looking forward to seeing what all of your kids have to say. My students will be posting their links in the comments section of my slice throughout the day:

    1. Lee Ann: I started making the rounds to classroom slices yesterday. I’m just getting on to the Bear English site today. Is it possible for me to comment on your students’ slices or do I have to be part of the class? Thanks!
