How to Craft Constructive Feedback - This was an interesting post! I've never thought about the different roles an audience member plays: witness, mirror, guide. And these play into your feedback. The difference between witness and mirror stuck out to me. I liked the phrasing of being a mirror: because the "creator wants more than a smile yet less than a full critique."
The Difference Between Praise and Feedback - This is a pretty challenging thing to put into practice. I understand the difference between praising a person vs. praising the work of a person, and I realize the possible consequences of constant praise, but it is difficult to not praise students when they do something correctly, especially younger ones. Saying something as simple as "good girl" is just so common, you barely even think when you say it! I definitely want to work on giving more process praise to people! I understand the other argument of not giving praise at all, but I don't think it's for me. It seems harsh to not give kids a kind word when they've accomplished something.
When I give feedback to people, I'm always nervous about how that person will react to it. I usually try to layer my critiques with lots of compliments, so there is a nice balance between the good and the bad.
