1. Read the Post & other Comments

Make sure you’ve really read the post and other comments – you don’t want to repeat what others are saying, you want to add something.

2. Highlight and Praise

Point out something positive that you appreciated or connected with in the original post. Tell them something nice.

3. Connect and Share

Share how you connected or agreed with the post. You can talk about a time when something similar happened to you or how you have experienced something like they talk about. You can also include a link to clarify your information.

4. Respectfully Disagree

You will not always agree with your peers. That’s ok! Be sure to make a positive comment before you offer an alternative opinion. Highlight their positive, and then share your counter argument in a kind and respectful tone.

5. Ask Questions

If you have a question about something they talked about, ask it!

6. Talk it Out

Your post should be a solid paragraph in length. Be sure you are really giving them meaningful and worthwhile feedback.

7. Double check before publishing!

Read it over at least one time for spelling, grammar, and whether it makes sense. Remember, this is public!
