There are two major purposes of this post.
One:continue learning about blogging and commenting.
Two: begin to think about your own opinion piece on an animal or plant and its structures.
Number One! As I have continued my own learning about blogging, I realized how important it is to first READ a post. READING a post is important because you can’t leave a thoughtful, complete comment unless you’ve taken the time to analyze the words.
To paraphrase the course I am taking, there is a process to blogging. The two steps we will focus on right now are:
1. Read others’ posts.
2. Comment on others’ posts.
Before you comment on this post, refer back to the Commenting Guidelines page on our class blog.
Number Two! Using the texts from previous lessons in Reading and Science, you will create a claim. (Later on, you will use the texts as research/resources to find evidence to support your claim.)
When you’re ready, your comment will contain your claim and what resources you will use as evidence to support your claim.
