About Comments on Posting

Just a few tips when commenting on posts.  Make sure your name is on your comment somewhere so you can get credit for posting something.  
The last post asked you to discuss a Canadian athlete.  About half of the class failed to tell me the sport that they are competing in.  
We will try it again in two weeks.
