Commenting is a great way to connect, share, and learn what other people think about a certain topic. One week, my AP English teacher asked my class to take a week off from blogging and comment on six other people’s blogs: three from my class and three from out of school. As you can see in the pictures above, commenting is a wonderful way to communicate with those whom one may not even know. Also, not only is one able to find people with the same viewpoints as her, but she can see issues in a whole new way. After this assignment, I have found that commenting is a new and great experience to learn from others in a world full of different ideas and viewpoints.
