Be a Mirror: Give Readers Feedback That Fosters a Growth Mindset
I like that this article mentioned focusing more on the reader while giving feedback. Instead of trying to please the reader, it may be more beneficial to simply focus on the things the reader did. In this class, we can substitute "reader" for "writer" since we will be giving feedback to the people that are writing stories. I also liked when the article said to focus on the process and the work the author put in, because that goes a long way in understanding what the writer was trying to say.
Presence, not Praise: How to Cultivate a Healthy Relationship with Achievement
This article was particularly interesting because it mentioned a study that tested which form of feedback improved students' abilities to solve problems. It was found that praising someone for their effort and hard work was more beneficial than praising them on their qualities (such as intelligence). I also agree with the article on the part where it said that if you praise someone for their qualities or tell them their creation is "the best," they won't ever try to improve. They will think they have created the best possible version of something, rather than trying to make it better. There is always room for improvement, so wherever we see fit, we should try to provide others with useful feedback :)
Some things I like to do when giving feedback is stating one thing I like, and that they should keep doing, and one thing that I believe they could change to make their story better. Sometimes I will ask a question if I am confused, but many times the suggestion can simply be a grammar mistake.
