Use the feedback principles from Chapters 1, 2, and 3 and apply them to the kind of student work for which you give feedback.why is teacher modeling of the use of feedback a powerful strategy?

Which of these ways might be appropriate for the class(es) you teach?What knowledge and skills that you teach are appropriate for peer assessment?
