Directions for this Extension Activity:
In this activity, students will practice providing constructive feedback to their peers in a structured and supportive way. They will review the sandwich method of feedback—beginning with a positive comment, followed by a specific area for improvement, and ending with another encouraging remark—and then apply it while responding to their classmates’ presentations. Emphasis will be placed on giving clear, respectful, and actionable suggestions that focus on presentation skills such as organization, clarity, confidence, and delivery. Through this process, students will strengthen their ability to communicate feedback thoughtfully while helping their peers improve their public speaking skills.
