Editing your post and commenting on posts that others wrote

Good morning!

How are you this morning? 

This morning I would like you to go back and look at your post from last week.  If you did not post something, please write something to publish now.  If you did write a post, I would like you to become a good reader now.  Go back and read what you wrote. 

Do you see any mistakes?  Check your verbs.  What tense did you use? Check your capital letters and punctuation.  Does every sentence have a subject and a verb?  Editing or correcting mistakes is a really important skill.  The more you read your own writing and check for mistakes, the better you will become as a writer in English!

When you are finished making corrections and checking your work, please publish the post again (the orange button). 

The next part of the class, I want you to relax and check out (read) other students' posts from our class.  On the bottom of each post, you can click "Comment" to add something like a comment, question, suggestion or thought.  The interaction between people is what makes blogging really fun!
