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.
My claim is that mosquitoes re foes because they suck your blood and carry a Horrible disease called Malaria
Okay! Simply put, your claim is: Mosquitoes are foes. The other information is detailed evidence you will need later. What resource will you use for evidence?
Leaches are foes.
What resource will you use for evidence?
sharks are a foe
What resource will you use for evidence?

Bats are the most disgusting and gross animal. They have leaf like noses, giant ears, pointy teeth and that’s not even the beginning.
Friend or Foe (Foe obviously)
Books about Bats
Opinion Writing Day sheets
Thanks for being specific on the directions! My claim is that rats are more harmful than helpful. I plan on using the articles on rats in the book, Friend Or Foe. A question I have is what if you want to leave a comment on something you relate to, or something besides Praise Question Suggestion? One suggestion/tip I have is Always be sure to edit your posts/comments before posting!
Thank you for your thoughtful response! I agree that editing your posts/comments is important. No one likes to read a Blog with many mistakes. As far as adding comments of other kinds, I think it would be great if you left a comment that was in relation to the post. Good idea. Also, I am interested in your topic/claim. I bet you can acknowledge some counterpoints that state the opposite.
leaches are foes. resource friends or foes

Hi! Thanks for your comment/answer. It made me laugh and gave me the information I needed.
My claim is that leeches are foes, because they stick onto you and suck your blood. Also, they will stay stuck to you and suck you blood until they are full which could take 30 minutes.
My claim will be sharks are friends, my resource is the “Friends or Foes” book.
my claim is that bats are foes
