Youth Voices - where we encourage random acts of commenting kindness

Students working to become power users on Youth Voices pay as much attention to their comments as they do to creating their own discussion posts.

Each of the four tasks asks the student to engage in an authentic conversation and to use valid reasoning and relevant and sufficient evidence when writing a comment or a reply,

We encourage students to use (and go beyond) the Youth Voices guides for comments.

This process of engaged, sourced comments and replies models what it means to be a scholar in any discipline or a professional in a career.

P Time it should take to complete:
2 hrs

Commenting - Reflect and Connect

Keep track of other students' work and make connections.

Comment on any Youth Voices Discussion.

Find a discussion by searching Youth Voices with a keyword.
Use Comment Guides: General Discussion or Agree/Disagree

In the Post Comment button here (on P2PU) add a link to your comment on Youth Voices. Do this before you click Yes, I'm done.

We encourage students to break out of these overly-structured "sentence starters" and create your own kinds of response. However, we do ask you to keep in mind the following guidelines:

Speak directly to the student or teacher whose post you are responding to
.
Quote from the post or describe specific details (of an image or video).
Relate the work to your own experiences or to another text, image, video, or audio that this one reminds you of.
Be encouraging and generous with your remarks. End on a positive note.
