Critique

@davidfawcett27#pbl #SOLO

ProcessDedicate whole lessons to this

• Model a piece of work you are asking students to create (pull out key vocabulary)

• Create a success criteria with students

• Draft 1

• Formal class critique

• Draft 2 (redraft)

• Student critique….

@davidfawcett27#pbl #SOLO

Critique Rules: • Be kind: All feedback is there to help. No personal

comments. No sarcasm.

• Be specific: No comments like ‘It’s good’ or ‘I like it’. These just waste our time. Ban them. Use vocab pulled out from model.

• Be helpful: Aim is to help an individual or the whole class with their learning. Comments should focus on this. Anything else wastes time.

• Hard on content, soft on people

“I really enjoyed yesterday evening. A terrific project. It was highly evident how much the youngsters had achieved and gained from the work. The presentations showed some very deep learning and understanding. Students were terrific too. Congratulations on your excellent work. Would be great to share with other depts.”“What an absolutely splendid evening. The whole event was outstandingly professional and captured the essence of what independent learning is all about. The self assurance and confidence your Year 11 GCSE students displayed during their presentations was captivating. Such a positive and worth while event. I know, speaking to parents during the interval they, too, were highly impressed.”“What a fantastic Exhibition last evening! I wanted to pass on my thanks to you for a brilliant display of hard work, knowledge, motivation and excellence that I had the pleasure of witnessing. The whole evening was a true credit to you and your students. Kirsty thoroughly enjoyed the visit to the Velodrome especially and even her presentation (after it was finished!). A wonderful extended period of learning that the students obviously enthused about.”

“I am just writing to share with you what a fantastic evening Mr Fawcett and his GCSE PE class put on for us last night. The students were a true credit to themselves, Mr Fawcett and Brookfield School. It was lovely to see how much they had enjoyed the whole cycling project and how they had used it formulate some very mature opinions.”

“My Apologies for taking so long to write this message but we want to praise the staff and students for such an excellent presentation evening last Tuesday on cycling. I hope you will pass on my and Tina's thanks to Mr Fawcett, the PE staff and especially the students for allowing us to celebrate this evening with them which Mr Fawcett brilliantly prepared and hosted. The students' really sold the message to the audience through a number of different communication skills; exciting and informative presentations through their slides, videos and stand-up presentations, through their one-to-one workshops hosting mini presentations and answering challenging questions on technical and role model aspects (amongst other areas), and through their articles displayed on the evening. It was evident that the students had thoroughly prepared and worked hard to portray the message they intended. Their communication skills were excellent and I hope that they will build upon these such important life-skills going forward. ”
