Fifth Graders Reflections on Weblogs
Today I met with the fifth graders from the NewsQuest group. They completed their evaluation questionnaires.
Dane is hopeful…..
If an outsider visited your site, what would you hope he or she would think about it?
I would hope they would think of children as being capable of more than they had first anticipated.
I would hope so, too, Dane! In my book, all of the students in this group have risen to the occasion and more! I am so proud of all the students in this group, and I will miss seeing them!
Dane also makes an excellent point about weblogs when he answers this question…..
How does having a weblog affect how you learn? How does it affect how you write?
When I post my newly created writing, I then have something to look at and see how I can improve on the next post. I like to look back on my papers and a weblogs allows you to do so. This isn’t as easy as when you have written your stories on paper.
Excellent observation, Dane
Lindsay is proud……!
Which response that you got from someone who made a comment about what you wrote did you like best? Why?
Well one day I got a response from Kelly and Alexa (Ga- NJ connection) saying my writing was excellent. This made me very happy because I was afraid that they would criticize my writing and they actually liked it. I was so proud of it and I’ve never forgot it.
These kind of memories stick with you. I can still remember my fourth grade teacher telling me she liked what I wrote. Those good feelings push us to try even harder.
Such good , thoughtful, reflective answers from the entire group! I can’t pick and choose , so here is each student’s post. I know this fine little crew of students will continue to soar in future endeavors!
