Global Read Aloud
Today we started our Global Read Aloud. We are reading the book Marty McGuire. I have set up a second blog for our class; this blog will be strictly for online classroom discussions, book discussions, and connecting with other schools across North America.
Today we focused on connecting with our peers in order to familiarize ourselves with the blogging process. I am proud to say that the grade 3 students are very responsible bloggers!
I read chapter 1 to the students. Then, they were expected to write a question, a wondering, or a statement on their blog. Next, they were asked to comment on at least 2 other postings from their peers. Their conversations were wonderful. They were very respectful in their responses.
The blog site is great to use in classrooms as the teacher must approve every comment in order for it to be visible to the whole class. We discussed how to agree and disagree in a respectful way when commenting on peer postings.
Here is the link for our discussion blog. The students all know their passwords to log in. Please enjoy reading our discussions and sharing in our learning.
