What does SMART stand for?

SMART

S = Specific

M = Measurable

A = Accurate

R = Relevant

T = Time bound

How to give SMART feedback

1. Be specific --> Focus on one thing only (E.G. They missed something from the brief or the type of language is wrong)

2. Make sure that it is relevant to the task (the review)

3. How can they improve it or where can they find the information if needed. (E.G. remember, reviews should have a title that is about just the name of the book/place/etc + a review)

To start with: Self-assessment

How do you grade your own text on the basis of the rubric?

 

Create SMART feedback for yourself

Now: Peer feedback

Look at a text from someone else

How would you grade the text your classmate wrote?

Also create a SMART feedback point for your classmate and write it down on a sticky note.

Adjectives and linking words

Identify the ones you used in your own text

Mark both the adjectives and the linking words

 

Improving what your wrote

Rewrite your text using:

- The new adjectives and linking words.

- The SMART Feedback you wrote for yourself.

- The SMART Feedback you made for your classmate.
