Ideas for Implementation:

The Remix Feedback video explains these three examples of how to engage creatively with feedback:

• Patterns and Meaning: Consider the feedback you’ve received and notice if there is a consistent theme to it, or a particular situation or application in which you receive it. Summarize the patterns you notice, and reflect on what they tell you about where you are now and where you need to go next.
• Feedback Shuffle: Read through your feedback and pick out words or phrases that seem the most helpful or meaningful. Write each down on slips of paper, shuffle them, and then draw one each day, each study session, or as needed. Think about how to apply this word or phrase to your current goal, assignment, or project.
• Blackout Summary: Make a physical or digital copy of the written feedback you’ve received, and reread it. Identify the main point (or points) of the feedback as you read. Then, with a pen, marker, or digital tool, black out some of the words, leaving a complete phrase or sentence that clearly states the main point of the feedback as you understand it. Then, double check this point with the person who gave you the feedback. Did your interpretation match what they meant? What goals can you set to help you work on the point(s) raised in feedback

• My Top 5!: Choose whether you want to review your feedback for points that either highlight what you have done well or show where you can improve. Then read through your feedback and pick out the five most salient points to you, given your chosen focus. Think about how you would arrange these points in a countdown list, with five being the point with the least weight or salience to your goals, and one being the point with the most. Use the arrangement of your countdown list to help you plan out your next learning goals.
• Thorns into Roses: Read through your feedback and highlight any points that indicate where you can improve (thorns). For each of these points, identify what improving in this area will allow you to do with language in the future (roses). In other words, what skills, situations, or possibilities can working on your thorn unlock for you? Write down at least one rose for each thorn, and set a concrete goal that will help you work towards those roses.
