Arthur’s Feedback Plan: Activities

Shared Reading · Ages 13–18. An adult reads the questions and clues aloud. Learners can talk, point, sign or choose an answer. For Jumbled Words, show the matching vocabulary word and build it together; learners do not need to read independently.

Vocabulary

Read these five words from the story. Talk about what they mean.

prototype: An early model made to test an idea.
judgment: An opinion or decision about something.
feature: One particular part or quality.
specific: Clear and about a particular detail.
feedback: Information about work that can help guide changes.

Jumbled Words

Use the clue to make a word from the story. Drag the letters with a mouse or finger, or tap a letter and then a space.

Put the story in order

Drag the pictures into order from first to last with a mouse or finger. Or tap a picture, then tap where it should go. Use arrow keys to move a focused picture.

Tell the story

Give feedback on one changeable feature of a familiar task. Offer time, a demonstration and a clear next step, and distinguish feedback about work from judgments about a person.
