This week we focused on asking clarifying questions and giving feedback. I introduced giving feedback through a writing lesson using play dough. Students created a pencil holder. Then, they chatted with the students around them about how they could make it better. Students gave and received feedback. We saw that every one's creation was different but use able and the importance of giving feedback. If you do not give great feedback then you are not challenging your peer to do their best creating.
Clarifying questions was taught and practiced this week. Students used the prompts: "I think..." "I know..." "I wonder..." To better help themselves and their CF understand their goal.
I feel like we are in the full swing of things and the kids long to have a CF conference. Now, if their teacher, allows for adequate time for meaningful conversations to happen is when the learning really takes place.
