1. Read lots of different things. You might need to follow links in the calendar or label cloud to find older posts, but you should not only try to read the work of your child. You will find great variety here!
2. Leave comments! Tell us what you think.
3. Be Anonymous. Use this option to (not) identify yourself because right now we are not putting real identities out on this public web page. The same thing goes for comments--please don't say things like, "Oh Suzy, you are the greatest! I'm so glad you are my daughter!"
3. Be Polite. Mr Potts is the moderator for all comments, so be sure not to leave comments that might be offensive or personal.
4. Comments don't post immediately. After you comment, you have to wait until the comment gets moderated before you see it.
5. The blog is for reading, sharing, and commenting...not chatting. Parents don't try to chat with each other!
6. Any questions? Email Mr Potts.
i like these tips. they seem very reasonable and clear. i like the idea of opening up the blog to parents and letting them see our work. i think that it is great that parents are encouraged to look at other kid's writing, not just their child's.
ReplyDeleteI think that parents should be encoraged not to put pressure on their child to put their work on the blog.
ReplyDeleteI think that these rules are very clear and straight-forward, which means I don't think that there will be any misconceptions or misundertandings with these guidelines.
