Peer Feedback on

7.A.1 Respectfully provide and receive critiques about design solutions to evaluate competing designs with respect to how they meet criteria and constraints and consider patterns across multiple designs to determine which design characteristics caused more-effective outcomes in performance.

• Students cite evidence to support the performance of different design characteristics.
• Students share and partner teams ask clarifying questions to elicit details that reveal why a particular design feature causes improved performance.

What to do

• If students are struggling to back up their ideas with evidence, direct them to Design Testing Matrix.
• Students should also be encouraged to ask clarifying questions that reveal underlying reasons for how particular characteristics performed. Provide sentence starters, such as those listed above, to support students in this task.

COLLABORATION

To keep the focus of sharing and feedback on identifying successes, make careful decisions about which groups are paired together. Pair teams that had similar levels of success in Lesson 6 and avoid pairing teams with the highest functioning and lowest functioning designs together. To save time, determine and post partner teams before class.
