Welcome Visitors!

Welcome Visitors! This blog shows a Grade 4 Blogging Unit of Study. It was created to serve as a teaching tool for our students as well as a way for two teacher-researchers to record this very new kind of Writing Unit. The creators of this blog, two NJ teachers (one classroom teacher and one Literacy Coach), believe very strongly in teaching students about all genres of writing and believe that digital writing has a place in elementary school classrooms. We are teaching fourth graders how to read and write blogs because we think it will be a genre that they can use to write about what they are passionate about in the world. We welcome any comments and feedback on our lessons and also hope that we will soon have some very well written and thoughtful student blogs to share. Furthermore, as one of the outcomes of this unit, we hope our students will see themselves as writers who are able to produce writing that they feel proud of to put out there in the digital world for all to read and comment on.

Learning to comment "on line"

We finally learned how to log on to our class blog site where we will all be able to comment on each other's blogs in a safe and secure way. Today we tried to consider what we know about commenting on a blog post to comment on our teacher's post. These comments are our first drafts and we will be continuing to learn the best ways to write a comment on a blog post. Please visit our "kidblog" class blog at http://kidblog.org/4Pintarelli/.

We first wrote our comments on post its and looked at each one to see whether or not it looked like a comment that could spark a conversation.

This is what we consider to be a well written post.
