A comment thread is a continuous conversation that consists of a greeting, positive feedback and an open question. The difference between an open question and a closed question is that a closed question can be answered with 'no' or 'yes', however an open question gives the other people more to think about.
I commented on Dayton's blogpost on making connections. He informed about the different connects the readers can make and he told how to make those connections.
LI: to make a dialogic conversation.
Kia Ora Bella,
ReplyDeleteMy name is Shannon, and I’m from the Summer Learning Journey.
Ka pai on a great comment! You’ve really thought hard about what the difference between an open and closed question is, and made a connection to Dayton by doing so. I also like how you explained what makes a good comment to your readers as well! Hopefully you get a heap of well-written comments on all your blog posts!
With the SLJ, commenting on people’s posts can get you extra points. Sometimes commenting on someone else’s work can be challenging though. A good way to do so if it’s a little difficult, is to try and relate to the person then ask a question. For example, I might say school holidays are coming up and when I was in school, I used to go kayaking during the school holidays! What do you do in the summertime?
Keep up the fantastic work and happy blogging!

Hola Shannon!
ReplyDeleteThank you very much for the kind and positive feedback. During the summertime, I usually occupy myself by reading books (the Shakespeare series to be specific), recycling items or materials and creating art with them or in this case, I will be doing the Summer Learning Journey! I look forward to the activities that you have ready for the participants.
What are some things you do in the summertime and what would you rather be doing?
Looking forward to your reply!
Kia ora Bella,
DeleteThank you for the response!
The Shakespeare series is great! What’s your favourite? I like Romeo and Juliet the best. What sort of art do you like to make? Perhaps you could post some pictures to your blog.
I like to go to the beach in summer and head home for Christmas! I’m a university student, so it’s always nice to pack up and head to the West Coast where I’m from and do some kayaking and swimming. Hopefully I can fit these activities in around some homework I have!
Happy blogging!
Shannon
Hello Shannon!
DeleteThank you for taking the time to reply to my question! My favourite story from the Shakespeare series would have to be the 'Twelfth Night' because of the character's personalities and the suspenseful plot.
To answer your question, some types of art I like to make are splatter/splash paintings because they are always fun to make. I also like to make simple but detailed drawings.
Why do you like Romeo and Juliet best?
See you in the comments!
Kia ora Bella!
DeleteI don’t know that one too well, what’s it about?
Splatter paintings are so much fun! I also like making things with clay because I think it’s lots of fun! I once made a rose I was pretty happy with. It was hard work but I was super proud. You should post one of your detailed drawings, I’d love to see it!
I like Romeo and Juliet best because I think it has a great twist ending. It’s sad, but Shakespeare was famed for his tragedies so it’s to be expected. Plus I love a good love story.
Happy blogging and have a great day!
Shannon
Talofa lava Shannon,
DeleteThank you for taking the time to answer my question. I agree, Romeo and Juliet is a classic romance story.
The 'Twelfth Night' is about twins (brother and sister) who are separated during a shipwreck. Viola (the twin sister) has taken the identity of a man in order to earn a living in the house of Duke Orsino. She unexpectedly reunites with Sebastian (her twin brother).
I like the 'Twelfth Night' rewritten by Andrew Matthew because he is able to reitterate Shakespeare's words so children can understand the story.
Thank you for your time. I enjoyed talking about Shakespeare as well as what occupies us during the summertime.
Ka kite!
Kia ora Bella,
DeleteFunnily enough, now you've explained the plot, it reminds me of the movie "She's the man" which is based off the story and has characters with the same names! It's crazy how even now, Shakespeare's stories continuously resurface in the modern world. I mean "The Lion King" is based on Hamlet after all. Nonetheless, it sounds really cool, I'll have to have a read!
What else do you like to read?
Happy blogging,
Shannon
