* Contribute interesting and thoughtful commentsFor today's assignment, students were asked to continue on our conversation that we begin the other day. The question that was posed to them was, "is it fair to play on a person's emotions to sell a product?"
* Present examples that support your discussion
* Raise good questions about our topics
* Listen (or read) and respond appropriately to others
Visitors, you can check out their responses to this topic by clicking on the link below. For our morning discussion tomorrow, students will continue the conversation by replying to another student's response.

The threaded comments can help with this, but perhaps you need to look at a chat room to create more of a discussion. Right now they don't have to defend their argument when another student disagrees.
Your right, we started threaded comments today and I got some fairly good discussions. Chat room has been a bit of a problem so fair. Students tend to treat it more like a chat room than a discussion.
Hi there!
Thank you for visiting our class blog. In our class, we have to practise speaking in good English and we are little ( 6 year olds ) and most of us do not speak English at home.

@Mr. C this last Friday, I did challenge my students to continue the conversation by disagreeing with a classmate, you should check out some of their response.
Kia Ora from Point England School, New Zealand. This discussion board sounds interesting. I hope you have been making lots of progress. Thank you for leaving comments on our blog and we will be sure to visit you again.
