Significant amounts of time and effort are expended on teacher and peer assessment to provide oral and written feedback comments – the challenge is to make this feedback effective (specific, encouraging, clear) and to engage students in a dialogue about their work.

You can look for examples of these and other prompts in the next activity, which focuses on the feedback students receive from a teacher.
Allow about 30 minutes
Watch the ‘Group work and feedback’ video. (Alternatively, you can read a transcript.)
Note any issues that are relevant to your own practice or tips that you could develop in your own feedback.
