After discussing with Bernadette Heibner, St Dominic's Primary school's RT:Lit, I decided to trial giving feedback and feed forward during the writing lesson instead of at home. The theory being that giving feedback during a discussion with the child is much more effective than writing a note in the book at home later that night. I tried it this week and found that the students attempted to work on the feed forward straight away. The feed forward was relevant and helped to make their recount better.
Feedback: a comment relating to something positive in their writing, relating to the learning intention.
Feed forward: a comment relating to something they could improve on. Could be a question to make them think about their writing.

I think this a good idea when you put it like that.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to hear how it works for you.
I wonder how this will work with 30?
Thinking about valuing the conference time with children and making this part of the tumble maybe.
