1 rich Libsyn https://www.libsyn.com 90 600 Welcome back to the Not So Wimpy Teacher podcast! &amp;nbsp; Today we are talking all about how to give students feedback about their writing.&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; You know how much I love to talk about writing, but did you know that when I was a new teacher, I actually dreaded teaching writing? I just didn't know how to help my students be better writers. No one taught me that in college. &amp;nbsp; My lessons were too broad, and I really struggled to give good feedback to my writers that would help them grow and make changes.&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Do you also struggle with this? If you do, you’re not alone!&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Today I want to share some tips and tricks with you that helped me. I know that they are going to help you give effective feedback as well. &amp;nbsp; Episode 92 Takeaways:&amp;nbsp; + Focus more on content than mechanics. + Pointing out every error doesn't help students to become better writers.&amp;nbsp; + Feedback doesn’t have to be complicated.&amp;nbsp; + Use a simple rubric to guide feedback.&amp;nbsp; + Give one positive comment for every negative comment. + Frame feedback as questions.&amp;nbsp; + Focus on the skill you're currently working on. + Giving feedback in small groups makes it easier for you to get to each student in less time.&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Don’t forget to take our quiz to find out what 90s pop star you are as a writing teacher.
