Instructional Strategies to Provide Feedback

Respond, reflect & review

This simple activity helps students practice giving and receiving peer feedback.

Respond -- In this step, have students respond to teacher-provided writing prompt.
Reflect -- Have students rotate around the room to provide a piece of feedback to a peer on his/her piece of writing.
Have students rotate to another desk to provide a positive comment or affirmation about the writer's written piece.
Review - In this step, instruct the students to return to their original desks and review the feedback they have received on their piece of writing.
Lead a quick discussion with the class, where students discuss some of the feedback that was helpful or what changes they plan to make based on the feedback.

TAG Feedback

This simple activity helps students practice giving and receiving peer feedback.

In pairs, have students exchange work.
Provide students with the TAG graphic organizer.
Support students in reviewing their peer’s work and providing feedback based on the TAG framework:

T - Tell your partner what you like about their work. This is usually the easiest part of the feedback cycle.
A - Ask a thoughtful question. This takes a bit of modeling and it can be useful to have sentence starters for this section.
G - Give your partner a positive suggestion to improve the work.

Students then share their feedback with their partner. Provide students with time to discuss and ask questions.

Peer Feedback

This strategy enables students to take charge of their own feedback and work collaboratively with others.
