ATL Skill Reflection
What ATL Skill did you learn about?
How did you practice this skill?
We had to look at a partner's photo gallery for our Design project and provide meaningful feedback on what they had done well and what they could improve. Our teacher explained that good feedback did more than just tell what was good or bad, it should explain why we liked it or thought it should change. More importantly, the purpose of our feedback was to make our partner's gallery better, so we needed to give suggestions on how to fix the things that needed improvement.
Our teacher used something called "The Ps of Peer Feedback". The Ps are positive comments and polish comments. That technique was really helpful as we went through each slide of the gallery because.
We also talked about the importance of listening to the feedback we got from our peers. We need to see the feedback we get as advice that could make our project better.
How did this ATL Skill help you in this project/unit/lesson?
Practicing this skill really helped make my project better. By using the feedback I got from partner, I was able to change the backgrounds of my gallery slides to make my pictures look better. Also, when I was looking at my partner's gallery I noticed that he had put too much text on each slide and that make the picture less important. Seeing that on his gallery made me go back and look at my own to see if I had made a similar mistake. I found two of my slides where I was able to cut back what I wrote to make more room for the photo.
How could this ATL Skill help you in another class/project?
Teachers are always asking us to give feedback to our peers when we are working on projects. I will use the Ps of Peer Feedback in the future to help me give better feedback to people. Also, when I found things to change on my own gallery by giving feedback to my peers, it helped me see that it is a really good activity beyond just helping my classmates.
