and are more likely to use it to improve their performance
• Oral feedback is much more effecFve than wri]en • The most powerful feedback is provided from the
student to the teacher

One September morning •a piece of fog touched me. As I looked out my window the gold leaves driped out of the tree as I dragged my feet down the stairs to breakfreast, as I waited for the school bus I feel puffs of wind pick up my hair when the school bus came I slowley walk up the stairs as I bundled • in a seat as I went down the steps I saw birds migraFng south as if leaves followed them it looked like they were air dancing.• -‐Allyson, gr.2
• As the cool fall leafs fall the aniamails hide in thir hafertat an the people put worm fire on and they have hot chocolet with mashmao. If feel couze with the blaket on you. You feel like you want to stay home forever. The wind hits your face it feels like somebudys teeching except it’s the breeze. -‐by Jason, gr.3
• When the Autumn wind blows it makes me shiver. It really makes me quiver. The wind is cold and really bold, it feels refreshing on my face. I get to keep my own pace. My hair would blow I can be slow, I walk on the ground I don’t have a frown, it feels so good and it keeps me in a joyful mood it keeps me happy for the rest of the day and I want to play and play. Aper the Autumn wind blows on my face it is really cool, it almost feels as cold as my pool. By Samantha, gr.3
