Skill: "Giving Feedback"

We are going to work on our project by looking at each other’s work. The goal of today’s class is to learn how to give proper feedback. 

We will use the vocabulary of the "Feedback sheet" and write in full sentences. 

This useful for two reasons

1. You will learn from reading someone else’s project. 

You will realize: “hey I have this question about this project but I also did not answer that myself”. 

2. Feedback will help you develop your own project. 

Sometimes you overlook things that a pair of new eyes will see

What do you find useful when you receive feedback?

Feedback, how does it work?

Watch cognitive psychologist LeeAnn Renniger share a scientifically proven method for giving effective feedback.

Watch question:

Which tip of LeeAnn's proven method for giving feedback would you like to use when you have to give feedback to others?

Which tip of LeeAnn's proven method for giving feedback would you like to use when you have to give feedback to others?

The assignment

Read the project of another team and 1) give them positive feedback and 2) ask (critical) questions. 

Language focus: 

Use the vocabulary of the "Feedback sheet" and write in full sentences. 

Example "Plan Bee"

Read the example of "Plan Bee" and think of one positive remark and one critical question. 

Remember: Use the vocabulary of the "Feedback sheet" and write in full sentences. 

Sustainability Project “Plan Bee” 

I want to develop a project with bee’s to help the local bee population that will contribute to our biodiversity and ecosystem. This is my first step to a plan, based on the following questions: who, what, where, when, why and how. This project will be installed at the Helinium, located at the side of the white school building, close to possibly flowering plants and trees but also out of sight and reach of pupils. For this project I need the principals permission for execution of the project and possible funding. Besides that, we need information on how to keep bees and share information with all students and teachers. Therefore, find an expert. Also, we need someone to take care of the bees, a beekeeper. Lastly, to pay back the money we borrowed, we will sell the honey that the bees produce, so we will work with someone who has excellent business skills. This project will only take a couple of weeks to finalize, this includes all preparation, the funding project, recruitment of experts and buying and installing the beehive.

One positive remark and one critical question
