Commenting - Notice and Construct [Oct. 25, 2012, 5:45 p.m.]
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:
-
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.
