Feedback and Growth

Read each situation and choose ways to give and receive feedback that are kind, specific and useful. You can write about a fictional situation instead of sharing anything personal.

What makes feedback helpful?

Constructive feedback describes something that is working and offers a clear, respectful idea for what to try next. It focuses on an action or piece of work, not on judging a person.

1.Ruby-Mae has made a poster reminding her family what to do in an emergency. Which comment is the most constructive?

“This is bad. You never think things through.”
“Your steps are easy to follow. You could add where everyone should meet outside.”
“It’s perfect. Don’t change anything.”

2.Select all the features of helpful feedback.

It is kind and respectful.
It names a specific action or idea.
It makes a personal insult.
It offers a useful next step.

3.Rewrite this comment so it is respectful and useful: “Your group never listens and your plan is confusing.” Include one strength and one practical suggestion.

Try the feedback loop

A group is preparing a safety reminder for a community sports day. Their draft says: “If you feel unwell, tell an adult.” Feedback should help the group improve its message without making anyone feel ashamed.

4.Write one sentence of feedback on the group's draft. Include something that works and one detail they could add to make the reminder clearer.

5.The group hears your suggestion and replies, “We already know that!” What is a calm, respectful next step?

Argue until they agree with you.
Pause, listen to their reasons and ask whether they would like to explain their choices.
Tell them their poster is hopeless.

6.Name two strategies that can help someone manage their feelings while receiving feedback.

7.Which question is most likely to help someone understand feedback they find unclear?

“Why are you picking on me?”
“Could you show me which part you mean and suggest what I could try?”
“Can you just do it for me?”

Reflect and grow

Feedback is information to consider, not a measure of someone’s worth. You can accept useful suggestions, ask questions or talk with a trusted adult if feedback feels unkind or unsafe.

8.A classmate says, “Your presentation was boring.” Give a response that sets a respectful boundary and invites useful feedback.

9.How can constructive feedback support wellbeing and growth in a group? Explain one way it can help people feel included or improve their work.

10.Choose one skill to practise next time you give or receive feedback: listening carefully, naming a strength, asking a clarifying question, or pausing before replying. Explain how you will use it in a made-up or everyday situation.
