Overview
Discuss the following with the class:
• Think back to a time (e.g., in school, at work, or even from a friend) you received feedback on your writing.
• What type of feedback was most helpful and why?
• Was there anything that felt confusing or hard to apply? (It’s okay if it didn’t all make sense at the time; part of writing is learning what to do with feedback.)
• Now, reflect on the feedback you have received so far in this course.
• What’s one area your instructor has encouraged you to improve?
• What’s your plan for applying that advice in your next assignment?
• Finally, consider the type of feedback you might give one of your peers.
• What kind of comments would help them revise with confidence?
• What makes feedback useful, specific, or motivating for you?
