I used the scoreboard to motivate students to work together to revise their work. After students completed responses to a reading selection individually, I picked one assigned question at a time and had students work together to check their work for accuracy and quality. I then picked students at random. Based on the guidelines I had given them during instruction, they had to give themselves a grade and predict what kind of feedback I would give them. If my actual grade/feedback matched what the students predicted, the students earned a point. Otherwise, I got the point. I changed it up as well: sometimes I didn't ask students for a self-evaluation; rather they simply had to have correct, high-quality work to earn a class point. Sometimes I allowed students to choose between having me check for the quality of their own work or selecting a different student who they think may have done a better job than themselves for me to check. During this activity, the students remained motivated, excited, cooperative, and actually made an effort to revise their work.

Look at you go!!! You're awesome! You're a natural! Love reading your posts!

I love your idea! It is always such fun to read about all the ways teachers are using WBT successfully.

Thank you, you are very kind.
