Feedback and Reflection
Feedback and Reflection
Please leave reflect on our PBL journey and products using the "I like, I wish, I wonder" protocol in the padlet below.
HOW to use I Like, I Wish, I Wonder ProtocolExpress your thoughts and feedback to your child in sentences that begin with I Like, I Wish, I Wonder. Share all or your likes first, then wishes, and finally wonders.
Some EXAMPLES of how to use the protocol to give students feedback on their process: “I like how you described the use of technology to research new ideas.”“I wish that you would have included more information about possible answers to the driving question.”“I wonder how you could have included coding your project?
