During the slice of life March challenge, I wrote a post about commenting. Commenting on slices is similar to giving writing feedback to students. It really is an art.
And I am not feedback artistic. It is something I constantly work on.
I currently teach an education class at our local university. I love it, but I still have so much to learn about teaching at that level. It is definitely not middle school.
Last week I was teaching about quick writes and the many different ways teachers can use them in classrooms. I had them write an admit ticket, and to show them a way to apply accountability, I had them share their exit tickets and write a comment or an add-on to the writing.
I could tell right away this was something they were not comfortable with although I can tell some of them put some thought into their response.
And then there was the one that made me think I need to add feedback to the syllabus for next year!
a space for me and other teacher-writers to share our stories.
