As a blogger, you should also be participating in the commenting process! Today, you will explore quickwrites of your classmates and leave quality comments.
How do you write a quality comment?
1. Be constructive...but not hurtful. Your comments should offer advice but be sure it is phrased in a helpful, not hurtful, way. It's ok to offer advice or disagree, but bloggers are looking for comments that continue the discussion. If you can't find a way to express your viewpoint without insulting others, tone down your words until they are respectful or refrain from commenting.
2. Compliment the writer in a specific way. Avoid things like, "I like your blog. Please visit mine."
3. Stay on topic. Your comment should be related to the content of the post.
4. Include a personal connection to what the author has written.
5. Ask a question. Or answer a question.
6. Add to the conversation with meaningful information. Do you have any additional information to add to the post?
7. Edit your post for clarity. Your comment is a published piece of writing, even if short! It should contain proper writing conventions (capitalization, punctuation, correct spelling.)
8. Try to skim the comments before commenting so that you add to the conversation without repeating something already posted.
9. Include your name rather than writing anonymously.
And, as the receiver of the comments, REPLY to those that are taking the time to read your writing and consider their thoughts!

I noticed that Wharnsby first told us who Crosby was and then went into his career so someone whom didn't know who he was would learn more about what he does and how he got into his job. He used dates of important events that happened to get him were he is today. They have included what teams he's played on, quotes from carry, and people he has played with.
