Excellent Posting and Commenting
I want to take a little time here and give all my blogging boys and girls some fresh ideas for post ideas. Sometimes, we can get in a ‘rut’, which means to do the same thing over and over. I’ve noticed that some of our bloggers are doing just that, writing the same kind of posts over and over and over and over and over and over (you get my point
); and what happens is you begin to bore your reader! You’ve got to keep it exciting! So here are some VERY MATURE ideas for blog posts. I hope you will use some of them to ‘pump up’ up your blog and keep your readers excited about reading your ideas!
Idea #1: Talk about your hobbies and talents
(Kayla)
Idea #2: Retelling an Adventure (JJ)

Idea #3: Sharing Your Interests (Trinity)

Idea #4: Talk About Your Life (Jacob)

Idea #6 & 7: Tell a Joke or Make a recommendation (Luke)

Idea #8: Ask a Question (Amanda)

Idea #9: Give Your Opinion or Share Your Thoughts (Dakota)

Idea #10 & 11: Write Poetry or Give Advice (Johnna)

Idea #12: Write a Review of a Book, Movie, or TV Show (Elias)

Idea #13: Write a Short Report about Something You are Interested In or Know a lot About (Camila)

COMMENTING IDEAS
Idea #1: Agree (or Disagree) (Miss R)

Idea #2: Ask Clarifying Questions (Jessi)

Idea #3:
Idea #4: Give a Compliment (Emily)

Idea #5: Give Your Opinon on the Topic (Mrs. Phillips) ![]()

Idea #6: Paying Attention (Kayla & Knowlton)

Idea #7: Say Hi and Answer Back (Kayla)

Idea #8: Share Your Experience with the SAME Thing (Miss Lipsky)

Idea #9: Share Your Ideas on the Topic (Write About the Same Thing) (Mrs. Shall)

Idea #10 Share Your Wonderings on the Topic (Knowlton)

I hope that you use these ideas to write more mature posts and comments! You are so smart and I suspect that you could be wowing the world even more with this new and exciting opportunity! I’m so proud of you for working on your blogs! I know you are going to ‘pump it up!’
PS- I believe strongly that the more you comment on other people’s blogs, the more comments you will get in return! The opposite is true too, if someone is commenting on your blog, pay them the same respect and visit and comment on their blog!
HAVE FUN!!! AND BLOG LIKE CRAZY!!!!

I thought this was a very creative way to give the children ideas for blogging, using their peers as examples. Thank you for going above and beyond by setting up their blogs and encouraging their use. I think it is an invaluable tool and a unique and entertaining way to explore their writing skills and creativity. I know I have thoroughly enjoyed reading them. Thank you Ms. Young for being such an exceptional teacher. Elias will always remember you, Swaziland, singing fun songs (You’re a Maniac), wonderful stories in your expressive speaker’s voice and his first blog. Mary
