Hi all,
I was really pleased with how well things worked out with Gemma's class blog in trying to develop authentic audiences.
With much of the work that has been put on class blogs thus far, audiences have struggled to add comments beyond 'well done' and 'great stuff'. By outlining the purpose and success criteria for the writing, Gemma has enabled the audience to offer feedback that is much more valuable than an acknowledgement of effort.

Thanks Keith, I'm also really pleased with how it is working. By including the success criteria it gives comments a focus making them more meaningful. This week I am asking all the students to comment on a recount on a blog during our literacy rotations. Hopefully this will continue to build up our audiences and audiences for other blogs in the school.
