A high-quality reply posting to a Blog Assignment is well developed (at least a couple of paragraphs), provides relevant information (content that adds to the conversation in a meaningful way), and is carefully written (demonstrates correct and fluent writing). Also, be sure that your feedback/comments to other classmates are not merely your agreement or disagreement with their posts. Instead, you consider doing the following: focus on a specific issue that was raised; you may challenge an assumption that was made; you may tie the topic to a previous reading; or engage, in some way, a conversation with the author.
