One of the principles of expeditionary learning is that learning can’t be done in one draft. Along with self-reflection, we expect our students to give and receive feedback to one another, and redraft their work until their ‘good’ work becomes ‘great’ work. All feedback has to be Kind, Specific and Helpful.
7Pioneer started writing their first draft answer to the guiding question today. Over the next few days, we’ll share examples of their work at different stages, so you too can appreciate the power of peer critique and the redrafting process.
Here are the opening paragraphs from Tom D, Callie, George and Nicole. The quality of work is already impressive, and Mrs Poncia and I are excited to see how this first draft evolves into the finished article.
