Answers to your Questions…
Hello Grade 5 students, in this post I will answer the following questions the best I can:
When you post, where do you get your ideas for the post’s topic?
What is your favorite or most interesting thing that you like about blogging?
What makes you want to comment on a blog?
Does blogging help you more in writing and language?
Answers:
1.When I write a post, I usually get my topic ideas from either my teacher or
something interesting that has happened recently in my life. But there are also other ways to get topic ideas for a good blog post. You could try and find a good topic to write a post on by surfing the net and using google or any other search engines that you can think of. Or, if you are interested in, say, getting your community more in touch with the world, you could go and interview people on their opinions, their knowledge on certain topics or even about the history of the place you live in, which would give enough information to make a whole new blog if you were dedicated enough.
2.For my favorite thing about blogging, I would have to say the ability to communicate with other people from around the world at anytime of the day. It helps to connect people in whole new ways that 10-20 years ago, nobody thought was even possible. But my favorite thing about blogging and the most interesting thing about blogging for me are two different things completely. So to better answer your question, I will tell you about the thing that I find most interesting about blogging is that you can learn so many more things so much faster, while still being careful that you are really getting true information of course.
3.Commenting is the key ingredient to successful blogging. If you do not receive comments, then how will you even hope to fix your blog and learn new things? The same goes for giving comments. When you leave a comment for someone on one of their posts, your should be leaving your opinion on what you think on what that person has to say on that topic. What makes me want to comment on someone’s blog is how what that person is saying affects my view of things. For example, say someone has written a post that talks about Velcro (the stuff that you use if you can’t tie laces) and how it grows in fields (I give credit to my teacher for the idea). Now you and I both know that Velcro does not grow in fields but bear with me because this is only an example. Anyways, suppose I leave this person a comment saying that Velcro DOES NOT grow in fields and that it is made in factories of manufacturing plants. Now this person knows that he/she was wrong and will probably fix his/her error and he/she has learned something.
4.Yes it certainly does! Blogging can give you a larger vocabulary, enhance your writing skills and even help you in reading so that you understand what you read better. In the future, I think that schools would be much better off teaching kids their ELA (English Language Arts) on computers, typing and blogging. But you would still have to learn to write and stuff first.
