Monday 5/15 AssignmentVisit the following links and read the blogs written by Middle Schoolers. After you have read some blogs - be sure to read the comments, too - if there are any but DO NOT POST ANY COMMENTS ON ANY OF THE BLOGS YOU READ, go to your own blog and post your thoughts. Describe what you read about, whether you though the posts were interesting and if you thought the posts were well written. Be sure to use details and support from the blogs you read in your post. I suggest that you open your blog in a new window so that you can go back to the other blogs while you’re writing.
