3. When your draft is completed, ask another classmate to be your “reviewer” and each of you will copy or download and fill out the top of this 18.Q4 Feedback & Revision Form about your story. 

  • Process:
    • Review the information provided below (What is Constructive Feedback?)
    • Each partner will provide constructive feedback in the Feedback & Revision Form after reviewing a draft of the digital story
    • Each partner will consider the feedback and identify possible revisions to improve it

Definition: Constructive feedback is providing a positive and specific response to one’s work that highlights their strengths, identifies areas for improvement, and provides actionable suggestions to help one grow and learn.

Elements of Constructive Feedback:

  • Focus on effort and progress: Acknowledge their hard work and highlight how they've progressed, not just the final result. 

  • Be specific: Instead of saying "good job," point out aspects of their work that were done well, like "I like how you explained the steps in your math problem clearly." 

  • Offer actionable suggestions: Provide concrete steps they can take to improve, like "Next time, try adding more details to your story to make it more engaging." 

  • Positive tone: Use encouraging language and avoid harsh criticism 

  • Tailor to the student: Consider their individual needs and learning style when providing feedback 

Examples of constructive feedback:

  • Your digital story design is very creative! Your use of images and sound effects supported the message.

  • I see you put a lot of thought into your digital story. Next time, you might add some sound effects to make it more interesting.

  • I can tell that you did a lot of work to make this digital story interesting and it shares a clear message.

4. Complete any revisions you feel will improve your story based on the feedback you received.
