Once you have answered the question well, comment on at least three classmates' blog posts. Your comment needs to go beyond simple one and two word answers and you don't have to agree with them, but you must be KIND. Remember that all of our comments online need to go through the THINK filter! T - is it true? H - is it helpful? I - is it inspiring? N - is it necessary? K - is it kind?
