The New Group One (10/22)
1. Guidelines on how teachers should respond to student work:
-
Try to sound as positive as possible, even when offering critique. (Keep in mind that your comments may sound meaner than you intend.)
-
Limit your comments to a few persistent problems, especially higher-order concerns. Avoid editing every minor error.
-
Use thought-provoking questions instead of declarative statements. This trains writers to imagine and anticipate the needs of readers.
-
Try to play the role of the intended audience, when possible.
-
Use a standardized list of marks, abbreviations, symbols. (Checks: good or bad?)
2. Rubric that accounts for our teacherly goals:
3.How can we redesign our classes (or writing program) to better facilitate feedback of student work?
