Feedback to Forward Motion
Choose real or fictional examples. Skip private details; never include passwords, medical information or contact details.
Learning goal: Translate specific feedback into actions and observable growth evidence.
A fictional teacher tells Rowan: “Your claim is clear. Add evidence, explain how it supports your claim and label the diagram.” Feedback describes a next move, not your worth. Help Rowan turn the comments into a workable revision plan.
- Read the teacher’s feedback to Rowan.
- Identify a strength to preserve.
- Translate each suggestion into an action.
- Plan how to check the revised work and ask about unclear feedback.
1. Translate the feedback
Make each action concrete enough that Rowan could start it.
| Teacher feedback | Concrete next action |
|---|---|
| Your claim is clear. | |
| Add evidence. | |
| Explain how it supports the claim. | |
| Label the diagram. |
2. Revision route
Choose an order and a visible sign that each change helped.
| Order | Revision action | Growth evidence |
|---|---|---|
