Mrs. Bowe's Edublog

Today, you will be reading what your classmates have written and responding to their points. You can’t read everyone in today’s time frame, but you can read at least one post from each student.

How should you respond? RESPECTFULLY! Questioningly, pointedly, promptly….

Ask questions of each other. If you notice an inconsistency with your interpretation or with your understanding of the text or literary criticism, point that out and talk about it a little.
