blogs writing comments grading students

shared by Teresa Ilgunas on 18 Mar 10 - Cached
  • Currently I correct most of my student’s spelling and grammar when I approve their comments
  • I’d think it would be a different matter with older children.
  • If the blog is of academic nature and is going to be read by other students/parents/teachers, then it’s our job to show them why conventions like spelling and grammar matter.
  • ...11 more annotations...
  • Again, it’s our job to show students how a writer’s audience affects how they write.
  • Speaking for all the poor writers out there, having someone always on my back about my grammar would put an end to my writing–it did for 27 years–from the time I graduated from college to the time I started blogging. So for me and all the other poor writers out there like me, would you rather we just stop writing? or is our voice valuable enough that maybe, just maybe, you could look past out inability to use proper grammar.
  • I feel that correcting everything, all the time, would kill their enthusiasm for using and experimenting with the language.
  • I was reading a grade 1 teacher’s blog, and the teacher left the childrens’ posts as is, but following each, put the correct form in parentheses. This both keeps the sense of ownership for the student, but allows for readers to understand the message clearly
  • I do not correct comments for a few reasons. First, they can be too numerous at times. Secondly, if I always do the editing work for them then students will never do it themselves. Third, I have several reluctant writers who never get a word down on paper but will make an effort if they get to write on our blogs.
  • am having students occasionally reflect on their comments and set/review goals for future comments.
  • I think that if they saw a good conversation going on in the comments (maybe on another classroom’s blog) they may get the idea that comments are as important, if not more important than the post.
  • Student edited, teacher directed vs. teacher corrected. In this instance, student age is an important consideration. Revising and editing are part of the writing process, so I require it of my middle schoolers. I also rely on peer review and peer editing.
  • I would appreciate teachers correcting posts and comments. It might be slightly embarrassing if it is done through comments, but maybe devoting a part of class every week to go over things that the teacher has found looking through posts and comments could improve the student’s grammar skills.
  • I like to balance between writing for an audience who is expecting readable text and the writing abilities of the grade or age level blogging. It also changes if the post is a class assignment with expectations described on a rubric as opposed to a free choice writing post.
  • BTW – peer editing is one way to check for spelling and convention errors and fix them.

  • But many experts say it is not at all clear whether dredging companies could build up the barrier islands quickly enough to save the marshes.
  • Gov. Bobby Jindal and local officials say the berms represent the state’s best hope of protecting the fragile Mississippi Delta and its fisheries.

    In the movies you find yourself suddenly about to enter the screen to play a part in the film being shown.  You can influence the outcome of events and interact with all the characters.  What movie would you like to step into?  What would happen in the movie you "enter"? What would your character be like?

    We call these techniques the "language of persuasion." They're not new; Aristotle wrote about persuasion techniques more than 2000 years ago, and they've been used by speakers, writers, and media makers for even longer than that. Learning the language of persuasion is an important media literacy skill. Once you know how media messages try to persuade you to believe or do something, you'll be better able to make your own decisions.

    Wonderful video clips where students can record and practice their speaking. Good for improving literacy as well as English speaking skills. Any student who does not like reading aloud would enjoy! Latest: a clip from Despicable Me!
