Students as "Teachers"









Students were given an opportunity to be the "teachers" during a task we completed this week with open responses. Last week, teachers in our school building scored open responses. Each student response was scored twice and students were given feedback on the things they did well and things they could do better.



We completed another open response this week. Kids in Studio 214 did the same thing as the teachers last week, using a scoring rubric and score sheets. I was very impressed with their feedback! This is a task we are going to continue to do for the remainder of the school year to improve our writing and learn how to critique our own writing responses.
