Commenting - Notice and Construct


Analyze, Create, and Collaborate with Multimedia

Add comments to two or three Discussions, and in each of your comments, take a position and support it with evidence from an article that you have copied quotes from this week (in your tasks toward earning your Text-Dependent Research Badge). Use this Guide: Quoting a Source in a Comment.


Reply to other people’s comments on any Discussions that you have started on Youth Voices or one that you commented on earlier. Write 5- paragraph replies, using this Guide, which shows you how to include a quote from your reading.


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


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

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