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:

  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.
