How we give feedback
![Page 9: ● How do I provide written feedback in an online environment? ● How can I provide clear explanations and constructively address errors when I am not face-to-face.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56649e1a5503460f94b07077/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
How we give feedbackGeneral considerations:➔ Focus➔ Language choices
(metalinguistic knowledge)
Tone:➔ Direct vs. Indirect➔ Specificity➔ Constructive and
positive
![Page 10: ● How do I provide written feedback in an online environment? ● How can I provide clear explanations and constructively address errors when I am not face-to-face.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56649e1a5503460f94b07077/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Focus
➔ Organization/content◆ Paragraphs, thesis
statement, topic sentences, support
➔ Grammar◆ Mark, explain, and give
resources about the first instance of a type of error; mark additional instances; tell writer to look out for more
➔ 2-3 Major issues◆ Read for a few minutes
and take note of 2-3 patterns, comment only on those patterns
➔ Student-elected area of concern
![Page 11: ● How do I provide written feedback in an online environment? ● How can I provide clear explanations and constructively address errors when I am not face-to-face.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56649e1a5503460f94b07077/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Language choices
➔ Anticipate students’ metalinguistic knowledge
Example:
“High school students need motivation to be success in their future careers.”
![Page 12: ● How do I provide written feedback in an online environment? ● How can I provide clear explanations and constructively address errors when I am not face-to-face.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56649e1a5503460f94b07077/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Tone
➔ Direct vs. Indirect, Specificity◆ “In this paragraph, I would add a topic
sentence.”◆ “You might want to change ________.”◆ “Grammar error.”◆ “In this paragraph you do not have a topic
sentence. Each paragraph needs a clear topic sentence to guide the reader. A topic sentence is...”
◆ Give action steps.

Tone
➔ Constructive/Positive feedback◆ It’s easy to focus on the
mistakes mistakes and things that need to “get fixed”.
◆ Don’t forget to encourage writers.
“I see some great progress since our last appointment.
This is a strong thesis statement; it
effectively captures the
overall purpose and argument of
your paper.”
