Writer’s block is only a failure of the ego. –Norman Mailer
What did your students think of the Classroom Commenting Challenge? Please share their reflections when you leave the link to their slice of life stories today or tomorrow. (Whatever is easier for you.)
Details:
- 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.) Remember to post one unique URL and use the same username/email to log so your comments will appear instantly.
- 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.
- Any questions, please contact one of our concierges. (Click here for more information on how to work with our concierges.)

I like the idea of leaving blog links in the posts. My students really liked commenting to other kids blogs. They are learning to comment to the writing rather than just the content. They all shared what the best writing was that they saw in the “blogosphere.” They are loving this! http://kidblog.org/MrsRogersBloggers/

chugging along through state testing, but writing nonetheless! 🙂 We’ve had short classes due to testing so I apologize for our lack of commenting, but we really appreciate all the comments we are receiving and will return the favor next week!!!

It’s been such a busy week here… I know that some of my kids were able to comment and loved it! They wished the other students, when commenting, had left a link to their blog so that they could visit it. Good point! 🙂 My students will be posting their links in the comments of this post throughout the day: http://truestoryofafifthgradeteacher.wordpress.com/2013/03/14/slice-of-life-14-grandparents/
