Recently our weblog was reviewed by 7th grade students from another school. As part of their assignment, the students of Room 140 were asked to read and blog about five student blogs from around the world. Room 613 Student Blogs was first on their review list and many students made very positive comments on your work. Here are just a few of the comments from the Room 140 students:
“I think that the blogs are very interesting. I think so because they are detailed and persuasive. The one that I liked the most was Room 613 Student Blogs because they had very interesting articles. One of them was The Poison Dart Frog. This article gives me immense information on the frog such as what it looks like, how it can harm us, and they also provide pictures of it.”
Way to go Kosta!
“I read multitudes of middle school blogs today were interesting and interactive, but some are not. There was one blog titled “Room 613″ and it was truly amazing. There blog had astonishing details and animation. There is an ocean of articles and information in this blog. In this blog I found a game called club penguin. The person who wrote this made that game sound exiting and not boring. The blog about Club Penguin told you how to play the game and was very detailed.”
Good Job SaraH.
“The kids in Room 613 have one of those blog sites. What makes this site so cool is that it talks about a lot of stuff, like as if they can right whatever they want, but isn’t that what a blog is for…YEA! They talk about the Three Gorge Dam, humorous photos, TV programs, science, space, etc. This blog also is like the normal life of a middle school kid, fun and interesting. It is very interesting and made me not want to stop reading it. Because of its perfect combination of pictures and text, it will always make a person wide awake and might teach them something in the process.”
And finally
WOW! You have a really creative and informative page. Love your pictures because it catches reader’s attention. The banana phone is really funny. Maybe that will be the next popular thing. The links where you got the information from is a very helpful tool. I like that you have multiple information. Such as science, some history, and important people. It’s like a one stop information page. Your writing is excellent as well, big words and great opinions.
Room 613 Students, I’m very proud of your accomplishments this year. Keep writing!

Anyways, thanks for posting!

Hello Room 613! I am the Room 140 teacher. The students are already on summer break, but I will be sure to show them all the responses you’ve left for us! My students and I are new to blogging, so I thought that looking at what other Middle Schoolers are doing would be cool. Our new school year starts in mid-August and I hope to continue and improve our classroom blogging.
Keep up the good work in Room 613 - we’ll be reading!
Ms. F (Room 140)

[…] Last year’s Reading classes did some blogging at the end of the year. First, we examined blogs of other Middle Schoolers, reviewed them and discussed what we liked about those blogs. One classroom even posted about what WE were doing. […]
