Example: What Feedback Looks Like

Student submitted:

Photosynthesis is when plants use sunlight to make food. They take in carbon dioxide and water and make sugar and oxygen. Chlorophyll helps them do this. It happens in the chloroplasts.

BSample grade

Strengths

  • Identifies the reactants and products of photosynthesis.
  • Mentions the role of chlorophyll.

To Improve

  • Could be more specific about the type of sugar produced (glucose).
  • Could elaborate on the importance of photosynthesis for the plant and other organisms.

Tips for Better Photosynthesis

  • Clearly define the reactants and products of photosynthesis.
  • Explain the role of light energy in the process.
  • Describe the importance of photosynthesis in the carbon cycle.
  • Use diagrams to illustrate the process.
