January 30th Learning Blog

What We Did
   Today we had class in the library doing group, and one on one blog critiquing. We got together with our blog groups and thought about how we could make our blog posts better, and saw how often each person was posting and we set group goals. Then you had to find someone you never, or rarely work with to critique each others blog posts, saying how good they were on a rate of 1-5, and say what they could do better to improve.

Why We Did It
   We did this so we could build our group, communication, and critiquing skills. Also others might see some things about your blog that doesn't make sense and learn from our mistakes. Through this we are also getting better at self, and peer evaluations.

Connections
    When we get into higher grades, most likely english, we will have to use these editing skills for essays, stories, etc. Also if we want a job in the area of writing like being an author or an editor, that is a place where editing skills are VERY important. Evaluating/critiquing skills are useful in many places.

Homework 
   The homework was to finish those peer editing sheets, and if you haven't already finished your novel questions there's that too.

Tips
   Make sure to finish your questions so that we talk in our novel groups tomorrow!

  2. Good job, but there were some misakes, like in the first paragraph you said, "library doing group. We had one," it wasn't too clear. But it was good as ever!

  4. Sorry about that, I was spending a long time thinking about the learning intentions, and I'm horrible at using a keyboard I'm just so used to my iPhone
