04.28 - Research Feedback / Revisions

Our class today was focused on reviewing work that was completed before break, working with the unit 3 roots and prefixes, and providing feedback on the research project. At the beginning of the period, I handed out updated grade report sheets and several people helped me to return work that was assessed over break.

We addressed the different tasks for today with everyone working in small groups with four stations set up around the room. Everyone had ten minutes in each area and had the other people in their group available for support. I explained the task and materials available at each area and then I was in the fourth group looking at class performance on the research project and responding to individual questions that people had about research or other class work. The various areas set up were as follows:

In this area, everyone completed the research feedback survey online.
This survey is explained in detail in the post "Research Wrap-Up: Reflection and Resources"

People in this location had graphs representing class performance on these assignments, overall feedback, and an example of the difference in quality between a "70" level response and a "92" (see below). There were also extra copies of all of the handouts available.
