Here are some activities that can help teach students how to give feedback (Grade 6-8).
1. GOLDEN WORDS:
* Use Highlighters
* Students exchange their written work.
* Look for examples of effective language.
* Highlight the "golden" words or phases.
* Have students share their favourite golden word/phase.
* Discuss why they choose the word/phase.
2. GOSSIP:
* Divide the students into groups of three.
* Each student is given the opportunity to read their written work, while the other group members stop the reader to ask questions, and make positive or constructive comments.
* The student reading is also encouraged to respond with comments or questions.
* The student may take notes or make revisions.
*** This is an informal chat about ideas, characters, etc. and is NOT a formal critique.
Have fun writing and providing your students with meaningful ways to give feedback to their peers!
