Comment Guidelines

Do at least two of these:

  • Compliment the writer.
  • Add new information.
  • Make a connection.
  • Ask a question.
  • Give a wish or a hope.

Do all of these:

  • Write two or more sentences.
  • Address the person you are talking to and sign your name, like a letter.
  • Protect your privacy. Use first names only. No other identifying details.
  • Use standard English.
  • Proofread.

Thanks to Mrs. Yollis’ class and video for inspiring these comment guidelines.

  2. Don’t need to publish this: Go right ahead! The link and your kind note are perfect. Good luck in all you do. 🙂
    By the way, when I went to open your blog in Internet Explorer, it froze my computer twice–I am wondering if you have some code problems?

    • Thanks for the note about the freezing web page. I’ve heard that from others too. Sue is checking to see if it’s a theme problem. I appreciate your comments and thanks for your great work going before us! Denise
