WHAT THE STUDENT GETS:

​

​

  1. RELATIVELY INSTANT FEEDBACK FROM THE PEER ASSESSMENT

(CAN BE RETURNED IN FIVE MINUTES)

​

2. THEY GET RESULTS IN A VISUAL EMAIL THAT THEY CAN SAVE AND

COMPARE TO PREVIOUS RESULTS

​

3. RESULTS ARE NUMERIC VS. VERBAL

​

4. IF A SPEECH IS RECORDED, THEY CAN NOW SPECIFICALLY

REVIEW THE VIDEO FOR ANY CATAGORY

​

YET TO BE FINISHED:

​

  1. PROGRAM IS BEING AMENDED IN TWO WEEKS TO STORE DATA FOR ALL SPEECHES IN A CLASS FOR THE SEMESTER (MY KIDS HAVE 11 SPEECHES TO PRESENT).
  2. TEACHER HAS EVIDENCE FOR BOTH STUDENT AND PARENT CONFERENCES IF NEEDED.

FLEXIBILITY

​

  1. TEACHER CAN CHANGE ANY QUESTION FIELD OR VALUE FIELD AT ANY TIME.

​

  • SOMETIMES WE DIVIDE INTO SMALL GROUPS WHERE A SPEAKER MUST

IDENTIFY TWO SPECIFIC AREAS THEY ARE GOING TO WORK ON IN

THEIR SPEECH. THE ONLY PEER ASSESSMENT OF THOSE

SPEECHES ARE THE STUDENTS IN THAT SPECIFIC SMALL GROUP.

Story for illustration purposes only

10 - Perfection! The presentation exceeded standards on all levels! They loved me!!!

​

9.5 - Almost perfect. I exceeded standards on all levels and the presentation was flawless; however, there were an item or two which could have been better.

​

9 - Great job - I exceeded most standards. The presentation flowed well with little difficulty; however, there is room for growth.

​

8.5 - Very Good Job - I met most standards and exceeded on others. The presentation overall went well; however, there are clearly things to work on. The time was well spent and utilized.

​

8 - Good Job - I met all standards. The presentation could still be better, but overall, it wasn't a bad performance. I filled the time appropriately and completely.

​

7.5 - Could have been better. I didn't meet all the standards; however, I gave it a good try. The presentation met the time requirements; however, it was not as engaging as I would have liked.
