Blog #10 11/19/13
@nbrook6’s response
I think this response to this blog question is a great way to get an A, because she used more than 5 sentences, did very well explaining her answer, and was accurate on the book’s information. (I’ve read the book this student was talking about.) I think those are all very necessary in getting a good grade for the blog.
Bad example:
Blog #16 5/5/14
@aanzivino6’s response
This particular response really stood out to me as something that was said not to do when commenting on the blog. This student used their title and author’s name as one sentence, then used the page number they were on as the second. The teacher’s instructions were that the book information and where you are in the book were all one sentence. Along with that, this student wasn’t very descriptive, and I was rather bored reading his response.
My feelings about the blog:
I was incredibly nervous at first, simply because I am about all electronic assignments. Although, not that I have a clear picture and understanding of what to do now, I’m really excited! It seems like a really great way to learn, share ideas and information, and receive those ideas and information as well. I also see that it brings us together as a class, and makes us closer as classmates.
Nhutto2 in blog #5 is a good example of how to get an “A” because the paragraph is right on point. There are at least 5 sentences and the grammar and punctuation is done well. They answered the weekly question well and in good length and detail. Dmcknight2 in blog #5 is an example of how not to get an “A” because they were not very descriptive and a little vague. Also, some of the punctuation was incorrect. I’m very excited to blog for reading class because it will be easier to turn in my homework and it seems very technological and different from just writing on paper.
djouvenas3’s post was a good one because they explained their answer really well. They also had more than 5 sentences! But someone who did badly was Aanzivino6, they had only two sentences. I am not nervous about the blog because I’ve done something similar in P.E. Also I much rather prefer computer based assignments than paper because I really like typing.
Acuccia6's blog was a very good example of how to write a blog correctly. She answered the question completely with five sentences, and with many details. On the other hand Nbrook6's blog wasn't very good. He was to vague, he didn't have five sentences, and his sentences were short and clipped. In other words not a very good blog on his behalf.
Tbolton4 in blog #12 was a great example of how to get an A! She used 5 complete sentences, used a couple of questions, and answered the question directly. However, a bad example of how to get an A was mglaeser3 in blog #12. He did not use good grammar or spelling at all. He didn’t even answer the question! I am really nervous about the blogs because this whole thing is new to me. I’m scared that there will be some days where I will forget to do them!
i totally agree with you about the computer based assignments!
@kberry2
Great blog but you forgot the last part :o
@gpettit2
well you got a whole week to remember :D
same here Gpettit this is also new to me
@ shannon turner great response!
lfindley6 on blog 18 is good because it is detailed and explains everything.
For the worst I could find is Hlawson3 on blog 14, because it's not that detailed.
I'm a little nervous about this because I'm worried I won't be able to get it done at times.
@kberry2 awesome blog, but you forgot to say why your are excited or nervous about the blog
I think @acuccia6 did a good job by explaining what Character she wants to be.I can imagine Korie as the most popular girl at school and everyone liking her.Also i can see her being an "A" student.
One good example of a blog was amartin3 in blog #18.I think this is a good example because he not only answers the question he goes into great detail about what the topic was like the writer said, “Also all the Jacks have special powers that they use to track and kill their victims. Jack is a silent but deadly killer that uses a sharp knife to thrust into his victims.” Even though he made a minor problem it was still really good. I liked how he provided anecdotes from the story and how he worded it! One of the blogs that I didn’t think was good was acuccia6 in blog #6. The writer did not correctly write a response that answers Ms. A Thomas’s question, therefore making it not completely whole. The writer did not give specific details or explanations and the blog was somewhat boring to me. The writer seems to have not even put 5 sentences, which is the minimum of sentences you are allowed to write. Lastly, I am very excited to use this blog because I feel like it will be helpful to track my progress with my book. Thank you!!
Shannon Turner, Nice blog, I'm a little nervous too.
jritter2 Nice.
Rqualls4 on Blog # 13 did a very nice job answering the question for the week. She listed the book name and the number of pages there are in the book. She recommended a friend and gave a few reasons why like how there is a movie coming out soon on the book. She also gave five amazing sentences. This is a great example on how to answer the blog for the week.
great job @Angel Santos
gpettit2 i agree
jritter2 had a very intelligent response. He kept the number of details at a reasonable amount. He also was very critical in his wording and is an ideal model of how to get an “A”. Unfortunately, Someone who isn’t an example of this is @grefore6. I am somewhat nervous as to how this is going to turn out for me. When I say “this” I mean blogging.
I think @acash3 did a not so good job because she only read 10 pages.
Also she didn't give enough details.It also didn't have that many sentences.But other than that she did a okay job.
I think that @tbolton4 , Blog #15, is a good example of how to correctly respond to the blog. I think it’s an easy “A” because she used great grammar and punctuation. She also used much more than five sentences. She also was very descriptive about describing the main characters and where they stand in the story. She used several details to help make more people understand the story that she is reading. However, @tnegron3 , Blog #10, has a good example on how not to receive an “A”. He used lots of improper grammar, misspelling many words. He also did poor with correctly using punctuation. He forgot commas and apostrophes in some places. And I’m actually somewhat excited about the blogs because I really like to type.
Kbailey6 blog #16 is a good example of a blog because it was very long and well formatted. Also she was very detailed about what she wrote she used very good grammar, spelling, and punctuation. She used very descriptive language to explain her book. A bad example of a blog is Mwebster4 blog # 12. It did not use any details nor did it meet the length criteria. He used some off topic ideas for his response like the movie Dumbo for example. I’m nervous about using the blog because I do not type very fast and I like to write stuff out especially longer responses.
Bking3 on blog #8 did a god job, because she gave good details about her book and about her main characters. She had 6 great sentences that answers the questions of the blog. She gives me enough detail to decide on if I would like to read the book or not. A good example on what not to do is athomas6 on blog #9 because he didn’t use 5 sentences and he didn’t properly answer the question. This year I’m excited about doing blogs every week and hearing about what others are reading.
I'm okay with doing the blogs.But like I'm not good with doing Homework so I'm kinda nervous about how the blog might effect my grade.But other than that I'm cool with the blog.
jglover2 I like how your used lots of detail.
czunkel3 in Blog #15 shows a great way to get an "A" because his/her paragraph explains the topic perfectly. He/she answered every he question with good writing. hmarder4 in blog #15 is the perfect example of how not to get an "A". He/she uses terrible spelling and uses the same word excessively every time she starts a new sentence. He/she doesn't use any new vocabulary and didn't even think about spelling. I am intrigued about writing a blog for reading class every week because i is something that is new for a change than writing on paper all the time.
805Good example: Blog #10 11/19/13
@nbrook6’s response I think this response to this blog question is a great way to get an A, because she used more than 5 sentences, did very well explaining her answer, and was accurate on the book’s information. Nhutto2 in blog #5 is a good example of how to get an “A” because the paragraph is right on point. There are at least 5 sentences and the grammar and punctuation is done well. Also I feel like cnechodom4 didn’t do such a good job on his blog response because he was revering to a person named Troy like everyone knew Troy.
great job @pbennis2
a good example about blogs is like when describe about the book you read and how the story is basically going and how the person likes the book and the how many pages they read and Sphillips4 had a very good blog by how she/he explained there self she used lots of details and more than one sentence like it was like 5 and i think this would get you an A
gpettit2 i like it
I think that @Jzhang6’s entry in blog #18 is a good example on how to write a blog. He or she used proper grammar and wrote more five sentences! I also love the detail and reasoning on why they would choose to be that character. I think he/she did an amazing job! However, I think @cparker3 in blog #18 did the complete opposite. He or She didn’t name I character they wished to be or why they would to be them. Also, @cparker3 only wrote four sentences instead of five. I believe that that user could have done a much better job and his blog was poor.
Also, I am rather nervous about this whole blog thing. I don’t know exactly why. I just don’t really like sharing my opinions or talking much I suppose. That is about it.
I think that
JHerrera4's comment on blog #11 was a good example of how to get an A because of the way they managed to not only make a lengthy comment, but also give both sides of a debate on the subject. its very important to look at both ends of an argument and present ideas from both while also making your point lean to the side you are on, which is exactly what they did. another important factor is that they managed to make the post long. that in itself is important because its not only a requirement of the assignment but also allows for them to get in as much information as possible and make a point clear.
Bad example: an example of a post with a noticeable lack of effort is
Hlawson3's post on blog #10.
where as most of the other students provided close to a paragraph of information, this person only made a few sentences that barely provide information. it's too brief and repetitive. it fills in the gaps with the same words over and over and fails to use any vocabulary that isn't overly basic.
In response to the question of excitement, I don't really find myself to excited over typing up comments for a few questions, and I'm not nervous in the least. to me this is just another basic assignment.
Aanzvino6 has a bad example of a book response. They don’t have their title and page number in the same sentence. They don’t give a lot of description. Only chose because of cover and title.
@gpettit2 Great response! And i'm pretty nervous for the same reason too!
What not to do:
ACuccia6 blogs aren’t good examples because I looked through a couple of blogs of her and noticed that on blog 2 when she started, she was reading Miracle on 49th street. Blog 4 she was reading a different book and states she was on page 20, but blog 3, 5, and 6 she doesn’t say what number page she was on. And she says pretty much the same thing every time she stuck her nose in a new book. Also almost all of her blogs were at most 4 sentences through all of the ones I saw she didn’t impress me once. If you don’t want an A do exactly what she did.
What to do:
TBolten4 blogs were outstanding, because every time I looked at hers it had everything it needed. Like 5 sentences and they were more than just amazing. Here blogs supported the book I feel like I just read it. She had the page number every time and I don’t think she missed not one blog. So If you want an A+ do exactly like TBolten4 and your guarantied what you deserve.
cmarque blog #16 he/she is telling the book in great detail. And he/she talks about the author.And the author likes to talk about weapons and war and he wants the chacter in the book to win the war.And he/she the author didnt talk about the charterer as much in the book.and im not exctied for the blog because to much work.
@gpettit2 Amazing response! Seemed very enthusiastic :)
Good response @fbougher :3
Sphillips4 in blog #13 was a good example of getting an A cause he had 5 fantastic senteces.
kbergman3 said...
I am currently reading Farenhiet 451 by Ray Bradbury and am on page 25.
I chose this book because it had a very interesting premise. A dystopian/Utopian universe where the reading of books is outlawed. These types of books always caught my attention because I like to examine the possible futures dreamt up by various authors. The main character is also a very compelling character. He has a job that requires him to burn books en mass but he searches within himself when he meets a girl who seems to live in a past who completely distorts Montag( the main character)’s perception on life. The sheer immersiveness of the characters greatly increases the enjoyment one can get out of the book.
@amartin3 great blog!
May 14, 2014 at 9:43 PM i think this was a good comment and a bad one is Blog #16 5/5/14
@aanzivino6’s response
This particular response really stood out to me as something that was said not to do when commenting on the blog. This student used their title and author’s name as one sentence, then used the page number they were on as the second. The teacher’s instructions were that the book information and where you are in the book were all one sentence. Along with that, this student wasn’t very descriptive, and I was rather bored reading his response.
My feelings about the blog:
I was incredibly nervous at first, simply because I am about all electronic assignments. Although, not that I have a clear picture and understanding of what to do now, I’m really excited! It seems like a really great way to learn, share ideas and information, and receive those ideas and information as well. I also see that it brings us together as a class, and makes us closer as classmates.

blog #16
@ehunziker4 11/23/14
the way that they stated how they thought veronica Roth wrote divergent was really outspoken and i enjoyed it s lot!
@Aposey did a good job on their comment on their blog. because they said what book they were reading and what page they were on.they followed the directions very nicely.It was a good example of how to get an ''A'' on the blog and also in this class.
I think Jlett6 blog#17 him or her write was great!! because it was very detail and he or she was good at writing about the book its simple and nice ! :)
blog #16
@keburgman3
11/24/14
was very strange to me because i quite didn't understand it even though they used over 5 sentences.
nicely stated @LUXBEE5228
OH and i am not looking forward towards the blog because its just more homework i have to do
@shannonturner great response i totally agree!
nice @ fbougher
thank you @kbutler3 :)
Blog#16 kkaufmann6 He/She tells what they think the author of Paper Towns had to do. He/She is pretty just telling what the author must have done. I think telling it plain like kkaufmann6 did is the way to get an “A”. Blog#17 blythgoe4 I think this is person blog is not the way to get an “A” because. He/She was just rushing through it, well that’s what it looks like at least. I am nervous about using the blog because I think I might not be able to always get them in on time.
good job @Shannon turner you probably have the best comment on here.
THIS SEEMS HARD THOUGH NOT HAVING A COMPUTER OR WIFI AT HOME :( AND I CANT EVEN COME TO SCHOOL EARLY
Very good answer jglover2!
@jlett6 on blog #6 , i loved how you answered the question how its supposed to be answered . you included the author , page number , and what book you were reading . keep up the good work . that is a perfect way on how to get an "A" in this class . @mrossi4 on blog #10 , your answer could've been stronger . you did not answer the question right . it asked where you think the character would go and why . your answer was kind of weak . that is not way to get an "A" in this class but good try . i am excited about doing these blogs , because by looking at other peoples blogs , i really cant wait ! this looks like it'll be fun !
acuccia6 in blog#18 is a good example of how to get an a on the blog because she/he is really descriptive of why she typed what she typed.Plus she typed all 5 sentences, typed the title and what page she was on.
mrosario4 in blog#18 is not a good example because she/he did not write 5 sentences and was not descriptive of what he wrote.
And last i'm not nervous about the blog.Why? Because i think it will be easy, the only thing I'm halfway nervous about in this class is the independent reading assignment.
asantos2 good job on summering those peoples blogs
@Tsullah2 had good comment with 5 plus sentences.And good explanation
i like @amartin blog number 2 2013 that person gives very good detail about his book. he/she states the character name and he/she states what the person in the book does.that's a good example of getting a "A" in reading, very nice example. a bad example is @blythgoe may 15 blog #11 that person doesn't give enough detail to the book. they dont state what he character does, all they said is they have a nice personality not a very good example.
I am excited about using the blog it's my first time!!And nervous too.Because I'm not good at computer..:(
Shannon Turner good job saying everything
its really simple to get an "A". you just have to follow the directions do exactly that. When you do it right you have succeded. also if you need help ask a teacher or a friend who knows how to do it. The directions is to type 5 sentences on how to get an "A" then find a good and bad answer then say if your nervous or not
@gpettit2 i totally agree :)
@jhearn3 that response is a perfect summery of how to get an a in this class and how not to
@gpettit nice blog i love it
@luxbee5228 awwwe , cant you go to the library , once a week ?
@jhearn3 nice paragraph you really gave detail
This is not a good example of a proper blog because this person only used three sentences to do it, and the sentences are very small his or her blog. @tdaigle6 on blog #10.This would be known as wonderful example of a great blog post because it contains at least five sentences, gives great detail, and expresses main and key points. @yalvarez6 on blog #9. These are some good and bad examples of how a blog is done in Mrs. Thomas’s reading class. I am both nervous and excited for the things that this blog will bring in the near future, because I will get to learn so much and also get to express how I feel about it.
gpettit2 i am also a little nervous about the blog too for the same reasons.
tbolton4 on blog #16 is a good example of how to get an A because he/she didn't make any grammar or punctuation mistakes. He/she also gave a lot of detail about the story. nbrook6 on blog #16 is a bad example of getting an A because he had grammar mistakes. He also had punctuation mistakes. I'm excited about using the blog because It's a easy way to do your homework.
@jmartin3 thanks for the great tips
i think having a blog is a good idea for kids. so they have a chance to do something more productive in life and it can make reading more fun than usual plus you can get an easy a on home work so it can be an easier school year.
@kjones3 your good at summering the peoples writing
@kmoore3 good examples
Hmarder4 from blog# 15 this is a good way to get an A because it is very detailed. You made the paragraph at least 5 sentences. You spelled every word right with the right punctuation's.
Kharrison6 from blog #15 this is a bad way to try to get an A because it’s not long enough and it’s not detailed.
i am nervous about the blog for one i do not like to read and 2 i am not a good complement person.
@hwerther3 your good at writing things your summery was good
@kmoore3 i feel u, good advice
i also like kburgman because he/she made a great point on how to get an "A".butLUXBEE5228 didnt really do his whole answer im not nervous i just think it might take some free time
gpettit2 I agree I might forget mine too
@spark6 blog#8 is a bad example of getting an A because, she doesn't have 5 sentences in her paragraph. And she doesn't have good grammar. Sphillips4 blog#13 is a good example because he has 5 fantastic sentences. And there's no incorrect grammar. I am exited too use the blog its an easy way to do my homework.
Kkauffmann6 is a good example to getting an “A” when blogging because he includes the title, author, and the pages. Kkaufmann6 also includes some details about the story like the author traveled a lot and he names the some of the places that he traveled to one was New York and he included Orlando. I feel like kkaufmmann6 could have told about more of the places he went because he said that the author traveled over the world he could have told of more places the author traveled but other than that he did a wonderful job on the blog.
@kjones3 you really gave detail, i'll keep that in mind
jclarke3 in blog #18 is a good example of how to get an "A". he has a very descriptive answer and answers the question well. nbrooks6 in blog #18 is not a good example of how to get an "A". His answer is plain and not descriptive.."i would be him so i could escape". I am excited to do the blog but also not because I might forget most of the time.
@nbrook6 blog#13 is a bad example of how to get an A because he only has two sentences, his spelling,grammar is completely wrong, also he didn't say much about why he would recommend this book to his friend.
@ehouston4 blog#13 is a great example of how to get an A because he/she has proper grammar, spelled everything correctly, and makes you want to read the book while explaining why it would be a perfect fit for his/hers friend!
good job gpettit2
Hlawson3 in blog #10 showed how it's done to post a summary about the title, author, page number, and the weird question of the blog to earn an "A". The person gives a detailed and descriptive answers. Has at least 5 sentences, the only downside was that he spelled horror "horroe". This person is a great example on the blog. Also I read a little bit of the "Stone Child" and it's a good book with a great plot.
A Good Example:
@Jlett6 on Blog Post #13 was a good example of a A on a blog grade. This person used correct grammar, and had complete sentences. Their response was simple and to the point. I think they did an overall good job.
A Bad Example:
@Astarke4 on Blog Post #13 had a very odd post. They didn’t finish their fifth sentence. It sort of ends as “It is a very funny….” I was confused when I first read this comment. They were defiantly not getting an A.
I’m not too excited about the blog post. It was all a little confusing at first to me. I’m sure after a few posts, ill warm up to it.
i think that kbergman3 had a really good blog. they had great sentences more than five and did a wonderful job explaining it. i think that tjensen6 had a good example of what not to do because he had short sentences that really did not make any sense and he did not do a good job of explaining it eaither. i am acually really exited about the blog because i will get to comper what i think to what outher people think about the subject wheather reading or books i am really looking fowerd to the rest of the blogs
Sphillips4 in blog #18 is a good example of how to get an A on the blog because it has way more sentences then needed. It also has 2 comments and is very detailed. Gamiller6 in blog #18 is an example of how not to get an A because there are a lot of words misspelled. There was also words that were not capitalized. I am kind of nervous about it because last year I was not the best at keeping up with stuff like this.
@rglover2 I liked that you used a lot of detail in your response that’s how to get an “A”. @qnuttall6 in blog 16 went on too much and got confusing at some parts. Repeating words over and over will not get you an “A”. I’m not nervous about the blog because we did a blog in gym last year, it was easy to do every week. So I am excited for doing the blog and seeing what others are reading.
@skkeys14
Good job on getting all this information about the person and the blog.
Good Job @DWhite3! :)Good job explaining everything, but don't forget grammar as well.
@jlett6 in blog #13 is a good example of a good blog. It’s a good example on how to get an A because it tells you exactly what the blog was asking for. It also tells you who should read the book, and why they should read it. I’m not really excited, or nervous… I kind of already expected this.
Tbolton4 in blog #13 is a great example on how to get a good grade on the assignment. They answered the questions in detail and they had six sentences. Apeterson6 in blog #15 is a very bad example on how to get a good grade because they only had two sentences and didn’t read the book yet. They also didn’t answer the question that was asked of them at all. I am nervous about using the blog because if I mess up all the other kids will be able to see my mistakes.
Mglaeser3 in blog #11 is a bad example due to the improper grammar and spelling. It was a little hard to understand what they were talking about.
Lfindley6 in blog #11 is a great example because she is very descriptive, and uses good words. She also seems to understand the book based off what she said in the blog.
I am very excited to do blogs this year. I think it’s a great way to do homework because writing and doing worksheets getting boring. Doing it on the computer will be faster, and more efficient way to complete school work.
@kjones3
Nice job saying about how that blogger was a bad example on how to post on this website.
@OYakel4, You did good! I agree with you on the "keeping up with things".
@ktodd4 good job!
good job @gpettit
I think mrossi4 on blog # 15 is a good example to get an A because there are more than 5 sentences. Also it has a lot of specific details. He/she described all the characters and examples. However cjones4 on blog #16 is not a good example to get an A because he/she only wrote 2 sentences. Also there are some mistakes and errors. I am kind of excited to use the blog because I think it would be better than reading logs and other reading assignments. Plus we could express ourselves.
@asantos2 I agree!
@pbennis2 Great job. I like your details.
One good example of how to receive an A on a blog is in blog number 12. The user jlett6 used good vocabulary, answered the question correctly, had five amazing sentences, and all of jlett6’s sentences flowed together. However, one not so good example of how to get an A is in blog number 10. User Hlawson3’s response contained short choppy sentences and an incorrect answer to Mrs. A. Thomas’ question. Lastly, I am excited to use the blog because I feel like homework will be easier to turn in and easier to complete.
Nhutto2 from blog #9 is a good example because he/she was very descriptive with what he/she was saying. He/she answered the question very clearly and had more than the required amount. Pblangor5 is a bad example of what to do because, he/she didn’t use words appropriate for the assignment. He/she used words like ‘apparently’ and didn’t even meet the minimum number of sentences for his/her post. I don’t really feel too great about writing my homework on a website where other students ‘judge’ my work.
@SHenderson4 great job!!
good job @gpettit
@amountain4,
I agree with what you said about the good example! Nice job!
@kjones3 good explaining
good job @gpettit
@jkim4 great job on writing your comment.
Sphillips4 in blog #15 is a good example on how to get an “A” or a good grade. They answered the question in great detail and answered the question completely by telling us who the main character was and told us what she would like if she were to have any social media. czunkel3 in blog #13 is an example of how to get a bad grade. They answered the question in very little detail and 4 sentences and the required number was 5-6. I am excited about using the blog because it means I don’t have to spend so much time writing and that makes me happy because I hate writing.
@jkoenig4
I think I might forget sometimes, too!
@jsmith4,
You did a good job on the bad example!
@amountain4 you did good on your response.
@JHerra4 on blog #12 is an excellent way to get an A on the blog each week because he or she gave great detail and word choice and have also answered the question to the blog right. But @acuccia6 is a bad example of how to get an A on the blog each week because he or she didn’t fully answer the question that was asked and didn’t reach the required sentences told to write. I am not all that excited or nervous for the blog. I’m not nervous about the blog because it’s just like texting except you have a given question you have to answer for a grade. Also I’m not excited for the blog because as much as I love to write/type it’s nothing new to what I have done before.
great @kjones3
Jmobley3 on blog #14 is a good example because they answered the question exactly right and with detail. They explained very well what their important word is. They made me know exactly what the word meant and why it was the most important word in the book.
Harisonk6 on blog #14 is a bad example because their details are so undescriptive that I don’t even understand what they were saying. Also their spelling wasn’t very good. Lastly they didn’t do very well on punctuation or capitalization.
I am nervous about using the blog because I’m not very good at writing. Also because it’s more work to do. :(
@jpettit2 good job
@aposey6 and blog number 18 because it had a great example of a perfect A she was very detailed, and explained reason why she was interested. @ehunziker4 his was a good example on how not to get an A he was not descriptive his blog was extremely short. I think he could have but a little more on his blog. I am really excited about the blog I think it is a great experience to have I can’t wait to do the next one I am also very nervous but excited.
@cmcknight4 i like your choice of words, very nice!
@Tjohnson4 good job
cfuentes4,
You did a good job on your good example. I like how you said they were discriptive!
@tjohnson4 great work!
@jmiller3 i like the way you set up your responce
@dsmith4 I like your examples
@cmcknight4 good job on your blog!
@cmcknight4 great response!
@sbrown4 good job on your bad example.
@cfuentes4 you did very well at explaining your blog
@dsmith4 good response.
A good example at how to receive an ‘A’ would be apeterson6 on blog number 14. They used great description and had good reasoning for their answer to the question. It was well thought out. On blog number 15, acollazo6 did not do a great job. They sounded like they were listing things instead of doing an ‘A’ worthy paragraph. The student also lacked detail and the grammar was not well put together. Lastly, I am excited to use the blog because I think it will make it easier to complete homework. I have worked with blogspot before and greatly enjoyed it. I look forward to it this year.
I like JHerrera’s response in Blog #12 because it met the 5 sentence rule and stayed on point onto what the question was. They used descriptive details to explain the book. A way not to get an “A” on the blog is HLawson3’s response in Blog #7 because they did stay on point but when they said if it was a movie who would play the characters, they chose who but didn’t explain why they chose the actors they preferred for the movie. I am nervous to use the blog because I never know if I could forget to the blog since I don’t get on the computer that often anymore. I still like the idea of using technology for keeping track of your reading, instead of paper.
@cmcknight4 you did an amazing job!!! Great description.
Great response kmanderino5 i like the how you explained why, and great detail.
@oyakel4 Great job explaining what the people on the other blogs did!!! I'm looking forward to reading more of your responses!
Acuccia6 in blog # 18 was a great example on how to get an A because they responded to the blog precisely and excellent. I love the way they showed why they would take the place of their character because they gave a description of their character and why they like him / her. Cjones4 in blog 17 wasn’t a good example because their grammar and spelling was all off. They misspelled a lot of word and they didn’t really express on why they pick that book. I am exited on using the blog because its unusual and different.
I think Tbolton4’s reply from blog #16 was a great reply because she answered her question clearly and used evidence from the book. She spoke about how she believed the author researched before writing their book because of the many scenes and characters that would have taken background information to be able to write about, it made me understand her point much better than I would if she didn’t give background on her book. I also read the reply from apetersen6 on blog #13 which I felt wasn’t a very good reply to the blog and probably wouldn’t get as many points as Tbolton’s reply would. Apeterson used less background information about her book to describe why she felt the way she did about her blog reply, and it was harder to understand where she was coming from because of that. I love the blog system! I’ve always felt more teachers should do activities on the computer I may just feel that way because I’ve used computers since I was about 5 years old and I love them but I think the blog is easier and a little more fun than writing a whole paper!
mrossi4 in blog #15 Is A Good Example Of How To Get An "A". It Has A Lot Of Description In It. It Has More Than Five Sentences. Apeterson6 In Blog #15 Is A Bad Example Of How To Get An “A”. Only Has Two Sentences. She/he Wasn’t Very Descriptive.
I think that ehunziker4 on blog #10 is an example of an “A” blog. This person was descriptive and did all the requirements on the blog. They followed each and every step and completed each question and did a very nice job. cmarquez3’s on blog #17 was correct on their post but, they only had 4 sentences. This takes off ten points off of your grade and this is why this blog post was not how you get an “A” on your blog. I am also a little nervous to use the blog because I don’t always have internet access and I sometimes get to school too late to go to the media center. I don’t really want to get a bad grade for not being able to do my blog but other than my internet issue I like the blogs.
mrossi4 in blog #15 Is A Good Example Of How To Get An "A". It Has A Lot Of Description In It. It Has More Than Five Sentences. Apeterson6 In Blog #15 Is A Bad Example Of How To Get An “A”. Only Has Two Sentences. She/he Wasn’t Very Descriptive.
I think kaesposito4 on blog #7 did a good job on how to get an A on a blog. He/she showed great detail and only 1 spelling error. He/She recognizes his/her point and tells it on point. Someone who did not do a good job is cnechodom4, he/she did not give a full answer and not too many details. A good example of a comment would not be tbolten4, all he/she said was that it was good, no detail or reasons. Although jritter2 on #1 did do a good job because he/she put details on why it was a good blog, and that was a good answer overall.
I am excited for blogging because it gives something to do with technology and it will keep up on our reading.
@cmcknight you did a great job!!! LOVE IT
I think that tbolton4 on blog #17 is a good example of how to get an A on the blogs. She was descriptive of the book and she had good punctuation and grammar, it answered the questions, and it was more than five sentences. I think that qnuttall6’s post on blog #10 isn’t a good example of how to get an A on the blog. I think this because his paragraph was not at least five sentences… it was four. I am really excited to use the blog. I am excited because I love using computers. This will make it a lot easier for me to do my homework because I can do it on my phone and computer.
@Dgriswold5
I think mrossi4 in blog #15 gives a good way to get an (A). They answered the question correctly and with much thought. Also #15 by mrossi4 is a good example because it give more than 5 sentences. Another person who gives a good example to get a good grade is jclarke3 in blog #18 because of his great vocabulary and descriptive answer. A bad example on how to get a good grade is nbrook6 on blog number #16 this person had bad grammar and bad punctuation. Another bad example is blythgoe4 in blog #18 I feel this person was not taking their time to do the work assigned to he/she there is spelling errors and sloppy work placement. I feel the blog is a great replacement for a reading log this feels way less traditional
Qnuttall6 in blog 13 is a good example of an “A” because they gave a good reason of why they think their friend will enjoy the book, and included a brief a description of the book. Of what not to do, his response to the question was too brief with barely any details. I’m excited about the blog because it’s a new way to do homework .I’m also a little nervous because it’ll be a little hard to remember to do.
@Shannon Turner, I think your blog was well made because you put more than 5 sentences and you have many details. The blog is overall good and well made.
@acash I like how you easily describe the way your book is set. It really shows how you understand the book and how well you blow through it and gave a brief summary of your book. It sounds very interesting and makes we want to read it. I also enjoy how you gave a great example of the books theme. You use background knowledge of the book and gave explicit details of what’s going on in this book. I really enjoyed your post and it was really good!
JHerrera4 did a good blog about his book. To me this is a good way to get an A. HE had over 5 sentences and they were well write. She/he did a great good on their blog. Apetersen6 in week 15 did not give a good example he was poorly written and he did not answer the blog. He said he was on page one when the blog was due, I think he didn’t read at all he/she did not want to do the blog. If the blog was due then he should start reading before the blog was due. Also he /she only put two for week 15 blog. There must have been some excused for not reading the book and only putting two sentences.
kmanderino5 you did a great job with your first blog!!I am really excited for the blogs to.
@Afarlin you did a great job!!!!
@Ddallas5 Great Job On Your Blog.!
@Apinkney-blog#14
his\her responds was very descriptive ,answered correctly,had more details to back up answer and all sentences flowed together
@Mwebster-blog#12
had no detail nor did it meet the length criteria ,had off topic ideas,and poor us of punctuations
im nervous about the blog because i know its easy to make a mistake and once it's published you can redo any thing
Dgriswold5 yod did a good job ! very descriptive.
@jglover2, good job on your post, you included quotes and examples on other peoples blogs in the past and had 5 sentences.
@kmanderino5
good job, very descriptive and got right to the point of the blog (:
@bmitchell Great job on your response, but you forgot to answer the last part of the question on how you feel about using the blog.
I think that JClark3 in blog # 17 was a great example on how to get an A on your reading blog because, they have all of their 5 sentences. They answered all the questions on the post and not a lot of errors in their comment or post. Also they commented on 2 of their class mates’ responses. The response that I think that most likely will not get an A on their reading blog is jmobley3 on blog # 17 because, they didn’t answer all the questions on the post. They’re a little bit of spelling errors and to me the sentences were too short. I am very excited about the reading blog because we don’t have to write on paper every night saying what we read that day and we get to use computers to do our homework every week.
I think @cnechodom4 comment is really good. Because they really put some detail into their blog. They also included some really interesting details. They explained how great it would be to switch places with the person in their book. Also, they exceeded the amount of paragraphs in a blog post. They put in seven! This should be an inspiration to all who read this to make sure your blog is longer and filled with more detail. If this person still went to this school id congratulate them and make them know that I think their blog is great!
I think @lfindley6’s blog isn’t detailed enough for a person to recommend the book. They should’ve put more exiting details instead of saying ‘I want to be him. I would change this.’ I fell you need to add something ‘juicy’ to the post and make sure that you grab the reader’s attention. Honestly I didn’t really think I’d read the book from this post. I knew from the way it was so short and too narrow for me to really know anything. Although they are on page 200, I still think they should’ve gotten enough detail too put into this blog that they could interest readers.
@jlowe5 Good Way To Summarize.!
@jkim I agree two sentences wouldn't get an A at all haha but I am sure yours will
Oyakel4 You did a great job on your post!!You had great grammar and punctuation.
@Dgriswold5
Good job but she only asked for 1 example of a good and bad blog. other then that nice.
Dgriswold5
good job Dgriswold5.You put not one but two examples on your blog.
@vnelson2 Great job!!! Yours was one of the best ones I read. I'll be reading more of your responses in the future.
@ddallas6
great job !!keep up the outstanding work...
dgreek5 I agree that is an good example of how to get an "A"!
GREAT EVERY ONE!!!! GREAT
avillanueva5
you did a very great job good spelling and very great job you gave really detailed sentences.
@bmitchell good job but you didn't answer the last question of the blog, that asks you to say weather or not you like or dislike the blogs.
I think @kbergman3 on blog 17 had a great response. He summarized the book a little and told us why he is so interested in it. He also used very descriptive details that someone would find on the back of a book! I think this is a great example on how to get an A on blog assignments. This person described the character so descriptive and clearly it makes me want to read the book! Another great thing about this post is that I love how they told us how they love these types of books. So that we know how interested they are in this, which makes it more interesting to read! I think @apetersen6 does not use too many details, and doesn’t really gives us too many details on why her friend would like it. I think blogs are a great thing because you can express your feeling on them and it’s a great and easy way to communicate with one another.
@dgriswold5 great job! You listed more then you even needed to and you did awesome. Keep up the great work!
@hdoan5
Great job on your post! I enjoyed how you explained the other 'poster's' blogs. It was very interesting
nice job dgreek5 i can tell you really put a lot of thought in it!
JHerrerea4 in blog 16 does a great job of explaining their own thought about why the author might need to research their topic before writing.
Eschrold6 in blog 16 does a bad job at meeting the requirements. He had bad punctuation and only 4 sentences.
I feel excited to use the blog because it something new and it’s on the internet.
dgreek5
Good job dgreek5. you were very descriptive and you wrote very well.
Acuccia6 on blog #18 is a good example because he/she had great details about the characters in his/her book. And had 5 sentences which is required to have. Gamiller6 is a very bad example because all he/she said was “good job”. He should have said a little more than just “good job”. He/she should have said what that person did good. I DO NOT like the blog because its just too confusing.
@dgriswold5 great job posting! I think you really made a hit on this blog!
Dgreek5
Great job I enjoyed reading you blog post good sentences can’t wait to read another one.
@A_PARKER
GREAT WORK ON UR ANSWERING QUESTIONS I LOVE UR WORK
dgriswold5 i thought u had a great blog,because it really descriptive! keep up the good work!

@nporrata5 Good job on your response. It was really good!!
I think that tbolton4 in blog 6 was a great example on how to get in A on your reading blogs. She had more than 5 sentences, on topic, and explained in very good details. She also makes the book interesting. In blog 9 from millerg6 is a bad example on how to get an A. There’s only 3 sentences and some errors. I’m excited on trying the reading blog. I’ve never done blogs before so this is new for me.
Ehouston4 in Blog #12
I feel that he should have elaborated more on his book. Also he has some punctuation errors and maybe should reread his summary before submitting it. All in all it’s good that he tried at least. You can all ways get better by trying and fixing your errors.
JHerrera4 in Blog #12
Her summary was amazing,fantastic, wonderful, but it needs a little bit of sparkle. Meaning she needs to add more vocab and you use different words other than “adventuresome/thrilling”. It is good though she described her thoughts on the book, she added more sentences then needed. Also she described the book well, I was very much attached to that book that she made me kind of want to read it. She did a great job on her blog!
I am very much eager to use this blog. It’s very much different from pen and paper. Also it’s like an update because doing it on a piece of paper would have been a little boring. However, this idea @athomas1 had is a wonderful idea. Applause to you and thank you for making it easier to do our homework.
arizzo5 you did a good job at explaining your reasons.
i believe that ehouston4 had a good comment on blog #11 because that person was nice, thoughtful, and the worded their comment politely. also i like it because it described what they were talking about. instead of saying good job like mrosairo4 did. they said "good job on the blog." i think that that could of been nicer and more wordy. instead of being bland he could of said " i like your blog it was nice and it made a lot of since. so i think that ehouston4's comment was nicer and worded things better. he also was plan in what he commented.
I am actually nervous about this blog thingy because I know I might have internet connection problems and that I probably won’t have time to do it at some point. But other than that I think I can get good grades on this.
I like
how @acash wrote her response because she use great details and descriptions and the theme of the book he/she is readying. And this response would actually have a good grade because it was well typed and nicely posted.
@tjohnsons4 you should use more descriptions and details in your pot because you’re supposed to have at least 5 sentences in your comment. So this wouldn’t get a good grade.
jlowe5
Hlawson3 had a wonderful blog. He/she mentioned the book title, the author of the book, and the page number that she is on. He/she also gave a good explanation about why she would be a character in the book that he/she was reading. His/her book was Needful Things by Stephen King and she was on page 497. He/she also had a 5 sentence explanation on her blog. This is why this person would have gotten an A.
Mrosario4 had an awful blog. He/she mentioned the book title and author but didn’t capitalize it. He/she did mention that he/she read 323 pages, that’s good. To me, he/she didn’t really explain a lot about his/her character. Also, he/she didn’t type a 5 sentence blog. This is why this person would not have gotten an A.
I am so excited about this blog because it is new to me. Also it seems kind of fun. This is also my favorite thing to do. I love being on the internet.
Tjensen6 in Blog 18 is a great example of a good blog. He has more than five sentences and uses correct punctuation and grammar. Sadly eschrold6 is not a good example of a successful blog. This person doesn’t capitalize in the right places and does not have complete sentences. I’m excited about using a blog because it adds more ways to interact with people and learn new things!
Hlawson3 is a bad example of an A blog. That is because he only has three sentences and the blog is supposed to have five sentences. Unlike that one, here is a good example of a blog; Jlett6, because he had 6 sentences and only a couple errors. They are both from blog #8 2013. Although they are both good Hlawson3 probably didn’t get an A because his was not 5 sentences, only three.
Blythgoe4 in blog number 17 is a good way how not to get an ‘A’ because they wrote three sentences. Jlett6 in blog number 11 is a good way how to get an ‘A’ because the paragraph is right on point. There are at least 5 sentences and the grammar and punctuation is done well. They answered the weekly question well and in good length and detail. I agree like the blog because on a computer.
aanzivino6 had a bad blog because his sentences were to short and he used the word I way too much. He didn't tell us about the book or any of the characters. Jherra5 had an amazing blog. Very long and detailed. This blog is a great way to reach out to other classmates. This will be AWESOME!!! I love playing on the computer, and blogging, so this will be great.
bsammel5 on blog 13 is a good example of how to get an a because she is descriptive and says what is happening in her book. ttaylor on the same blog is a good example on how not to get an A because she extremely vague. I am not so sure about how I will do since i am not very good at reading logs and this will be new
@tbolton4 had an excellent post/blog. She/he had five complete sentences. She has good grammar, she has correct spelling. She gave me a good idea of the book would be like! She also noted how many pages were in the book, which was really nice! This is a perfect way to get an A+ @tbolton4 #Blog12
@tjohnson4 Your post is very nice!
JRitter2: He did a great job explaining what they did right and wrong.
DGreek5: Good job explaining everything.
I am not nervous because of the blog because I had to do them last year.
(Mrossi4 on blog 16) I believe Mr. or Mrs. Rossi did a fantastic job on her blog because it was over five sentences and described the blog to perfection. They gave all the details about how Rick Riordan must have done a lot of research on Greek mythology to write all the books he did on the mythology. (Hlawson3 on blog 16) Mr. or Mrs. Lawson didn’t have an “A” quality work on his blog about the research. They didn’t give anywhere close to the enthusiasm or effort in the blog. It was very short with not very much detail about the blog and looked like he just repeated himself until he got to five sentences. Last, but not least my opinion on the blogs. I had blogs last year in Mrs. Cheshire’s reading class and I had a hard time remembering the blogs because of all the other homework. She would remind everyone but somehow I would still manage to let it slip out before the end of the day. Since I have the Sixth period class hopefully I will remember it more and I would love if you gave plenty of reminders to the class to remember.
@Carsonz3 had amazing blog. He noted what character he would want to be with good examples and strong sentences. He also said that the reason why was the guy he chose was never the one starting or getting involved with the bad thing. He even stated the where the town is located in Castle Rock Maine. Carsonz3 was the perfect example of how to get an A+. #goodblog.
On blog 18 aposey6 was a great example of a good blog. It had five sentences, good detail, and good punctuation. This person also answered the question in detail. Harisonk6 is a bad example of a blog because her punctuation on some sentences were off. Some sentences didn’t even have punctuation. She also has capitalization errors at the beginning of some sentences. And she didn’t capitalize “I”.
@RRaisch6 I like your post!
pbennis2: I agree with I also believe that she had a very good blog and it would have been an easy A.
