 * **SWBAT describe principles of effective writing feedback**

1:15 - 1:20 - Welcome & Agenda
 * Notetaker: Ben #Flanagan

1:20 - 1:50 - Some logistics (SCHEDULE 2ND LESSON ... READING A TEXT OR WRITING ... 5 or 10 minute thing) April 14: (Schoenberg) April 26: Sacajawea Middle School (Carpool .... I don't have a car but we will make it work ... we could bike. Quads?)
 * edTPA feedback (Professor Case has edited our TPAs... good news: Some passed. All in the ball park! Opening Day! BlackBoard comments. Issues of alignment threw some people off. Sometimes too much detail. Make an appointment for revisions.)
 * reports from the field (don't forget to upload observed lesson plans and reflections to Blackboard)
 * quiz window - 4/7-4/10 - questions on the [|study guide]? (Quiz will be available online during the window ... treat it as a quiz ... use the study guide.)
 * Strategies: Review the notes on the wiki
 * Question a: Interactive reading model and prior knowledge ... powerpoint that talks about question in greater detail. The interactive reading model comprises bottom up and top down. Bottom up is decoding: cukr (taking the letters, giving it a sound, and putting the sounds together to see if the combination of sounds is a word you know). Top down: Applying background knowledge (context clues, vocabulary, knowledge of texts). Bottom up + Top Down = Comprehension
 * Question b: Identify ways kids would read or use text in your content area.
 * Question c: Packaging a text.
 * Question d: Purpose for pre (generate interest/establish purpose/relevant knowledge), during, and post.
 * Question e: Instructional strategies in subject area (you have imagined texts you might do)
 * Question f: We can do this stuff
 * Question g: We probably can do this stuff
 * Question h: We might be able to do this stuff.
 * Question i: Fences
 * Question j: I hope we can do this stuff.
 * Question k: TODAY
 * Question l: Case study
 * Question m: HOLLA IF YA HEARD
 * Upcoming Field Trips

Thursday gonna finish rain in a dry land (Food ... Apple Cake ... Matt ... )

1:50 - 2:30 - [|Giving feedback to writing]

We are going to write down less helpful feedback (what does bad writing feedback look like .... wall on da right ... what does good writing feedback look like ... wall on da left).

Start with the BAD: 1. Generic/unsupportive feedback .... "No" .... "awk" (teacher slang for awkward, generally referring to awkward sounding sentences, but also can be used by students to described awkwardness in general) 2. **Inconsistent** grading criteria 3. Subjective comments 4. Unjustified/unexplained/unclear/revisions 5. If the writing is illegible (like mine is ..... awk)

The GOOD: 1. Next Steps -corrections (specific write and wrong) -Explanations of feedback -Class feedback (examples ... going over work) -Feedback on **entire** piece/work

Powerpoint Feedback Time: 1. **Ideas First** (communicate to the writer that you are listening to him/her ... remember there is a real person behind the writing ... unlike Jane who isn't real). ACTUAL STUDENT THOUGHT. My teacher WANTS to know what I think. Same level speaking. 2. **Targeted Feedback** (Cannot give feedback on everything ... it is unhelpful and impractical).Targeting. 3. **Transparent Criteria and Process** (Let students know: "This is what I am focusing on and this is what the symbols mean" (a check means I'm intrigued)) 4. **Compliment and Critique** (Sincere compliments and room for improvement) 5. **Teach the Feedback** (Look for patterns of success and weakness and teach the whole class ... show samples of strong and weak portions of student writing ... teach them how to do that and have them fix it). 6. **Revision** (Practice what was taught through revision ... WHERE THE LEARNING OCCURS)

7 minutes to give feedback on this (following principles of feedback).
