Reflecting

I've taken an awful long time to reflect on the assessment experience and I think it was pretty helpful for this assignment. People were at different stages of a rough draft so it was hard to give feedback for the more incomplete drafts (my self-included), but nonetheless it was helpful to share ideas and get feedback on our topics. I also learned a little bit about problems that may arise with the movie maker/imovie and how to combat those issues. I think both giving and getting feedback is beneficial and I learned things through my peers' insight as well my own reflections.

In the future I would definitely use peer evaluation in the classroom. Especially when students write drafts I think peer evaluation is a good way to make sure everyone is on track. I find that there is usually wide range of competency levels in the Spanish classroom, so I think using a rubric to evaluate each other's work would be the best peer evaluation strategy. This could also be combined with the layer cake technique to make sure students are getting positive feedback and constructive criticism.
