Activity 1 - Rate my bunny!

---

Activity Task

1. Draw - You now have 2 minutes to draw a picture of a rabbit. You can use page 13 of your idea journal if you like. Be prepared to share it with your group!
2. Analyse - Now look at the rabbit your student leader has drawn. Give them feedback on their bunny. Whats "good" about it? "What's not so great" about it?
3. Discuss - Now take it in turns to show your rabbit drawing to your group. Spend five minutes discussing and writing down the feedback on page 13 of your idea journal. 

Activity 2 - What is helpful feedback?

---

 Activity Tasks

1. Examine - What is helpful feedback? Examine and make notes on the four suits method below on page 14 of your ideas journal:
   1. Hearts - Warm and fuzzy, heart feedback may feel nice because it’s positive but is usually unspecific and not actually very helpful.
   2. Clubs - Negative and unspecific, this kind of feedback “clubs” someone over the head and just hurts.
   3. Diamonds - Both positive AND specific, diamond comments are actionable and valuable... like a diamond. $$
   4. Spades - Specific and actionable, spades dig you out of a hole you might have missed, just like the little shovels they’re named after!

Activity 3 - Transforming Feedback

---

Activity Tasks

1. Revisit - Now revisit the feedback from your group about your bunny drawing. Which pieces of feedback are hearts, clubs, spades or diamonds? Identify this on the table on page 13 of your ideas journal by drawing the correct suit.
2. Write - Choose at least two pieces of unhelpful feedback that are hearts and clubs and turn them into diamonds and spades. Record this on page 14 of your ideas journals. Use these sentence starts to help you:
   1. Diamond - It was helpful when... / The way you [xxx] worked well because...
   2. Spade - What if you try... / I might suggest... / You could consider...
3. Share - Now practice your public speaking a little by sharing your spade or diamond feedback with the rest of your group. 

Unhelpful Feedback = Vague or fluffy, hard to measure or figure out what the fix is, reflects personal preference of the giver instead of the intention of the receiver.

Helpful Feedback = Clear, specific, makes it easy to identify what to keep doing or what to change, focuses on overall impact instead of personal preference.

2. I can now give helpful feedback that is specific and actionable.

THINGS TO DO

1. Try using the four suit method to give yourself (or others) feedback on your ideas statements so far.
2. Try creating a graphic or poster that illustrates and describes the four suit method.

THINGS TO SHARE

1. Try sharing the four suits method of feedback with your peers in other classes.
2. Why not share you rabbit picture on social media and see what feedback you get. How would you class it?
