Additional Comments:
How will you score your students on the work they turn in? Maybe you can add a
summative assessment that your students can complete to show what they have
learned, or you can tell them on your evaluation page what they will be doing at a
later date to show what they have learned for a grade. Just a suggestion.

Additional online communication is not needed in this lesson, as your students are
too young to contact you on their own. Plus, it is a hybrid lesson, so you are
available to help students as needed.

Feedback
1. Specific feedback is provided on assignments
x
so that improvement can be made.
2. Feedback is provided in a timely manner.
x
3. Students are given the opportunity to provide
x
constructive feedback to peers.
4. Feedback remains positive and is in the

interest of improving skills and understanding.
Additional Comments:
It seems as though you will provide feedback to your students face-to-face as
opposed to online, which makes sense due to their age. Based on the tone of
your writing, I can tell that you are giving your students positive feedback. You
have also given your students a chance to share feedback with each other
through face-to-face discussion.

You have a good lesson. I think your kids will enjoy it. Congratulations to you for

Areas in Need of Improvement:
