- On the left hand side of the webpage, they are provided links to the pages of their classmates.
- They must choose four (4) blogs and leave a reflection comment on any blog which they choose. Each reflection comment must be of substance and will be counted for a grade.
- If time permits, we will discuss as a class our reflections, in addition to what were our favorite or least favorite blogs, and reasons for marking them as such.
- We will either return to the classroom or dismiss from the computer lab, all depending on the time available.

I like this!!! I know you're not finished with the lesson plans. I love that you've taken what you've been doing (with this project) and enhanced it based on what's naturally happened in the class. This is what I mean by adding to, or enhancing, what's already been done!!!
You two are doing fabulous work! I can't wait to see the rest!
