Group Posting

Summary

 

             Today, Ms Lees put up her projector and she typed some helpful suggestions for our group posts on the big projector screen. As we discussed together, she explained to us how we should write our posts. She also explained to us that we can improve by checking other posts on different blogs. Then she also asked us what we think a good post is supposed to be and what bad posts are. To work on that, we all moved in the computer lab. Ms Lees handed us these worksheets with a general understanding of what our posts should contain. In the other side, she wrote ratings 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 for posts and told us to go online, visit some group blogs which was found in Ms Lees Blog, and give criteria for each ratings. She allowed us to work with a partner from our group posting blog. Then after that, it was all work block and we left for lunch, after finishing the sheet.

 

Learning Intentions

 

             We learned so much about our posting. Ms Lees explained to us what a great post was, how it should be done and what bad posts are. Since we went to different  group blogs and rated how good or bad the 5,4,3,2,1 posts should be for ourselves, we have a way better understanding about how to make our own posts good. This was a lot of help for us now that we know how to post better and improve on certain parts. Now that we have the group posting criteria sheet, it is easier for us to post and also, to do a way better job on it!

 

Connections/Reflections

 

              I think what we learned today will help us write better, being specific and detailed in our paragraphs. Also, we can take a look at other people's writings and learn from them as well. As Ms Lees said, when we share our work with other people, we want to make it as best as possible and we are really excited for it, too. We want to make it as perfect as possible. Therefore, we look at other people's work, get suggestion from them, try to use a thesaurus and be lots more detailed!

 

Homework Reminders

 

               The worksheet about post ratings should have been finished today, so I guess for people who finished, they don't have to do that. We should check Ms Lees's Blog alot and look at all the new updates. AND YOU MUST FINISH READING YOUR NOVELS WITHIN 2 WEEKS.

 

 

Homework Tips

 

             If you want to improve on your writings, you can google certain parts of your writing and get more and more ideas. So the next time you write, your writings will be so much improved, detailed, and of course, creative! Also when you post, make sure there are no grammar or spelling errors. Try to be neat and perfect. When you read your novels, try ti stop each chapter or two and summarize it in your head to get a clear understanding of what's going on in the story. You are free to write them down in your notebooks too!
