What+kind+of+comments+should+be+left?

First of all, remember that your comments need to be respectful. Keep your opinions about the book and not about what people write. You can disagree with what another person says as long as you back it up with facts or examples from the book. You cannot say a person's opinion is wrong or put down anyone's ideas. If someone disagrees with your opinion or idea, please do not take offense. Sharing ideas and beliefs are what these discussions are all about. If something in a book is confusing to you or you feel like you interpret something a different way, ask other people to comment on what they think. If you find a passage or quote in the book that really sticks out to you, put it on the page, reflect on it, and ask others to do the same.

The second thing is to make sure that your comments are well thought out. Be sure to review your entries for spelling errors, capitalization mistakes, complete sentences and subject/verb agreement so that everyone will be sure to understand what you want to say.

You may comment as many times as you wish. Close your comment with a question to keep the discussion going.

Please note: If Mrs. Howell feels that a comment does not follow the requirements, she has the right to ask that you revise it and/or to remove it from the page.
