Helpful Feedback

What are we learning today?

You will react to comments from other students in a polite and useful way.

Explanation

• Good feedback is polite and clear. It helps you to improve.
• To accept an idea, say: That's a good idea!
• To say no politely, say: I'd prefer not to ... and give a reason.
• Check your work with questions. Are your spelling, grammar and vocabulary correct?
• After feedback, say thank you. Then change your text and check it again.
• Do not argue. You can ask: Could you show me an example?

Examples

1. That's a good idea!
2. I'd prefer not to go to summer camp.
3. Thank you. I'll add the dates.

Remember!

• A good comment is clear, for example: Please add the date.
• Always listen, change and check again.
