Sharing the Love Part 1

Hearts and CandyI''m really impressed with the quality of people's posts on their individual blogs. Some students have already received comments from their friends, family members, and even from student teachers in Canada!

Commenting is a really great way to gain readership for your blog and also contribute to other students learning. I really enjoy it when people leave comments on both our class blog and also the student blogs.

So this week your mission is simple. Go and share the love by leaving quality comments on other class and student blogs.

I will leave a list of suggested blogs for you to comment on but feel free to find other class and student blogs to leave comments. Remember that you are representing yourself, Room 15, TIS and even New Zealand when you make comments so they need to be quality comments.

You need to make at least 3 quality comments on 3 different blogs in 3 different cities by the end of the week. You also need to fill in the google form to show where you have left your comments.

Today I thought we would start in our school with Room 13 and Room 2.

Room 13 students have been starts about commenting on our blogs so it is time to repay the love. You can find Room 13's individual student blogs by scrolling down Nga Hau Mahana.

I also think Room 2's twist ending poetry was pretty fabulous too.

Speed sharing

Room 15 spends a lot of time reading.

Some students have already 10 books since the start of term! To help us find interesting books to read, our class had a speed sharing session. In the session students were paired off. They had 30 seconds each to sell the book they were reading to each other before moving onto a new pair. Popular books in our class at the moment are the Hunger Games and the Geronimo Stilton series.

What's your favourite book to read? How do you find good fit books?
