Summary of C4K #1

For my first C4K, I was assigned to comment on Jackson's blog post. He is a student in Mr.Cometti's 9th grade IB World History class at Robertsdale High School. I commented on his post Imperialism. In this post, he talks about what imperialism is and also the areas that were greatly affected by it. He also talks about why certain countries wanted to take over other countries. He had some humor in his post which made reading about history more enjoyable.

Summary of my comment

In my comment, I told Jackson I haven't been in a world history class for three years and his post was a good refresher for me. I had not even thought of imperialism in years before I read his post, and I had forgotten what it really was. I praised his use of humor while explaining the reasons for some countries being taken over by imperialism and wished him good luck in his class.


Summary of C4K #2

My second C4K assignment was to comment on Nicholas' blog for Mr. Sapia's class. In his post, he talks about the homework Mr. Sapia assigns. He stresses the fact that sometimes his teacher doesn't assign homework because he feels it is important for his students to have time to be kids and not spend all their time on homework. However, when he does assign homework, he tries to make it enjoyable. Nicholas states some of the computer homework assignments and what his favorite homework games are. He also states that he is aware the homework Mr. Sapia is assigning is beneficial to his learning.

Summary of my comment

I told Nicholas I was thankful he listed some of his favorite homework websites because I found it beneficial for me as a future teacher to know what types of homework kids like and actually enjoy doing. I loved reading his blogpost because I could tell he really has respect for his teacher, and I want my students to feel that way towards me. I encouraged him to keep up the good work and wished him well with his homework assignments!


Summary of C4K #3

My third C4K was to comment on Te Puawai's blog for Miss King's class. Te Puawai is in year six at PT England School. From her blog, I can tell she likes the outdoors. In her post she talked about how during the first week of school her teacher took her class on a walk around Omaru Creek. She loved this adventure because she was able to see wildlife such as tadpoles and all kinds of plants.

Summary of my comment

In my comment to Te Puawai, I told her how much I enjoyed reading about her first week of school. I also said how I wish I would have been able to take nature walks like her class did when I was in school. I related to her because I love walking around creeks and pond and observing the animals in plants that call the land home. I wished her good luck in her studies and told her that I hoped the rest of year six is as great as the first week was.


Summary of C4K#4

My final C4K for February was to comment on Delicia's blog for her 10th grade English class. Her post is a summary of a story she has read about a girl who lost all of her friends. She feels alone and like she doesn't belong anymore. The girl hides in a closet because she felt the closet was like her in a sense that it too had no purpose or name.

Summary of my comment

I found this story a little sad. I commented on how unfortunately many kids (and adults) feel the same way the girl in the story feels. I asked her the name of the story she was blogging on so I could read up on it. Finally, I wished her luck in her English class.
