=Blog/Edmodo Comment Analysis: What makes a good comment?=


 * **Title**: ||< What makes a good comment? ||
 * **Subject**: ||< LA ||
 * **Grade**: ||< 2 ||
 * **Time Frame**: ||< Each lesson will take about 30 minutes. There are several lessons - each task bullet point would be a separate lesson. ||
 * **Summary:** ||< The students will read and understand blog comments in order to write quality comments to communicate globally. ||
 * **Tasks**: ||< * Students will read a blog post. Students will then be given several comments to put in order to determine the quality of the comment beginnings. Start an anchor chart of criteria of good comments. (Anchor chart: A good comment has a clear link that tells what part of the post it is commenting on or which other comment it is commenting on.)
 * Students will get a piece of wax paper and saran plastic wrap. Students will put each on top of a page in a book and try to read through it. Wax paper makes it "fuzzy" and plastic wrap is "clear." Students will read a blog post. They will be given comments to sort into fuzzy and clear opinions. (Add to the anchor chart: A good comment has a clear opinion.)
 * Students will read a blog post. They will be given comments with missing evidence. Several students will write evidence to complete the comments. Students will then read the completed comment to the class. The class will discuss and determine which comment is the best and why. (Add to the anchor chart: A good comment has strong evidence to support the opinion.)
 * Students will reread familiar posts and comments which have been used through the year and analyze them using the criteria anchor chart. ||
