Acting on Feedback

You have peer feedback on your format 1 presentation from the pair rehearsal. Today you will apply that feedback by making a correctly named v4 copy, adding a short change note on sm2_peer_feedback_round1, and working toward a teacher tick on one accepted edit and one written decision.

    1 - Introduction ~5 mins

    Today you will

    • act on your partner's feedback, or say why not
    • save format 1 as a v4 copy
    • show your teacher one change and one reason

    Warm-up

    Illustration for IntroductionOpen {{code:sm2_peer_feedback_round1}}. Star one point and write {{code:Accept?}} or {{code:Reject?}} beside it.

    Missing a file?

    If {{code:sm2_peer_feedback_round1}} is missing, make it in {{code:sm2}} and add your partner's two points. If you missed the rehearsal, use these two:

    1. The opening is slow, so start with the problem you solve.

    2. Add a few jokes so it feels less formal.

    If format 1 is missing, use {{code:sm2_edit_practice_YourName}} instead.

    2 - Key Concepts ~5 mins

    Accept means you change the work so a viewer can see the difference.

    Reject means you keep your choice and write one line saying why.

    A change note is one line for each point, saying what you changed or kept.

    v4 is a renamed copy of format 1. You edit the copy, so the old file stays safe.

    Your v4 name

    Pick the name for your format:

    • Slides: {{code:sm2_vet_presentation_v4}}
    • CapCut video: {{code:sm2_vet_video_v4}}
    • Canva: {{code:sm2_vet_canva_v4}}
    • Audio: {{code:sm2_vet_audio_v4}}

    Example

    Aoife cut the text on her price slide. She rejected a joke, because her audience is the examiner.

    3 - Step-by-step Task ~14 mins

    You will practise on a sample first. If you use slides, make the two slides below, then follow the steps in the box.

    1Quick Fix Phone RepairsA small enterprise idea for my VET interview
    2Repairs and pricesSo far this year I have fixed cracked screens on 12 phones for friends and family, and every one of them is still working perfectly today.
    I charge 25 euro for each screen, which covers the new glass, the small tools I bought and a bit of my own time, and that is much cheaper than the phone shops in Athlone.
    I would like to grow this into a proper small business that I could run at weekends and during the summer holidays when I have more free time.

    If you use CapCut, Canva or audio, watch the demo, then do these steps instead:

    1. Cut some words from your work.
    2. Export it and give it your v4 name.
    3. Put it in {{code:sm2}} and check that it opens.
    4. Make {{code:sm2_peer_feedback_practice}} and type this change note:
    Accepted: cut words for spoken pitch. Rejected: meme about broken phones - keep professional tone for VET examiner. Student: Your Name - ready for teacher spot-check.

    4 - Common Issues ~3 mins

    Common issues

    • I wrote a note but didn't change the file. Make a visible edit in your v4 copy for every point you accept.
    • I renamed my old file instead of copying it. Ask your teacher to help you get it back from version history.
    • I can't find {{code:sm2_peer_feedback_round1}}. Make it in {{code:sm2}} with that exact name, then add your two points.

    5 - Independent Practice ~20 mins

    Independent Practice

    Your goal: Improve your VET presentation (format 1) using your partner's feedback, and write down every decision.
    Time: ~20 minutes
    Task:
    1. In {{code:sm2}}, open format 1 and {{code:sm2_peer_feedback_round1}}.
    2. Make a copy of format 1 and give it the v4 name for your format:
      sm2_vet_presentation_v4 (slides)
      sm2_vet_video_v4 (CapCut)
      sm2_vet_canva_v4 (Canva)
      sm2_vet_audio_v4 (audio)
    3. Go through each feedback point. Accept it and change the v4, or reject it.
    4. On {{code:sm2_peer_feedback_round1}}, write one line for each point, using these starters if you like:
      Accepted: ... because ...
      Rejected: ... - audience/purpose reason: ...
    5. Show your teacher one change and one reason when they come round.

    If you use CapCut, Canva or audio, export your v4 into {{code:sm2}} and check it opens.

    Success criteria:
    • My v4 is in {{code:sm2}} with the right name and one clear change.
    • Every feedback point has a line on {{code:sm2_peer_feedback_round1}}.
    • Each reject has a reason about my audience.
    • My teacher has ticked my work.
