Characteristics of a Good Blog Post Comment

 

Haven’t you ever read a comment on something you had worked on, but it didn’t really help you know what the person liked or didn’t like? Writing things like, “COOL!” or “Nice” don’t really help you know what the person is really thinking.

So, I thought I’d share with you what another blogging teacher had already written. Mrs. Yollis posted about this very topic and you can click here to read her reminders about what makes a good comment. Her students also have a few videos that you can watch as well. I’ve included one below.

Here is what we talked about in class today:

 

How do you make a really good juicy comment? This list will remind us what makes a comment worth leaving behind.

Let us know if you think we should add any more by commenting on this post.

Characteristics of a good blog post comment:

1.  Be constructive, but not hurtful
2.  Think about the author and their purpose for their post before leaving a comment
3.  Comments are always related to the content of the post
4.  You can make personal connections to what the author wrote
5.  Answer a question, or add meaningful information to the content topic
6.  It follows the writing process – it’s like a mini piece of writing.
7.  Use a comment sandwich: start with a positive, add  constructive feedback, then finish with a positive.
8.  Make your comment sandwich thick and tasty! Lots of meaningful, meaty thoughts that relate directly the content of the post to keep the blogger satisfied!

9.  Always remember to include your own blog address in the comment so others can visit your blog, too!
