Dear Mr Winter
Thanks for including our classroom blog in your list. If we can be of any help with this let us know and we will try and answer the students questions. We have been only blogging for two weeks, but we are keen to help.
Room 8, Melville Intermediate.
I learnt a little bit yesterday but suprisingly i already knew quiet alot of it.Maybe you could make your lesson more interesting by alson letting us figure it out for ourselves, rather than being told everything.Emma Arendse
Hi Mr Winter Alex here. I thought that the talk you gave us yesterday was very interesting. Before you talked to us I didn't quite understant how to blog and how to make one. I think that you could have explained the asspect of how to make a blog, a bit more, in the scence that you could have explained it all in a bit more depth and added more to the explanation part of the talk. other than that it was very well explained.
Hey Mr. Winter, I thought that your talk on Wednesday was very informative and explanatory. I think that yopu went into a needed depth for commmenting and using blogs. I thinkt that possibly you could've said a bit more about creating a blog. Overall I think that your talk was definitely needed, otherwise I wouldn't have the foggiest idea of how to Blog!! Thanks for coming to talk to us. Cheers, Daniel Carson
