Feedback

What is feedback and why is it important?
Feedback is a comment or reaction to someones work. Feedback is important because it gives a person an idea of someone else's opinion. Whenever we finish our work we usually think it is really good because we created it, but other people may think that there are areas that could be improved or changed. Feedback is also good because it helps us with our learning. If someone gives us good feedback with a suggestion on how we could improve it and we do go back and change it, we would end up with a good piece of work.

Good and Bad Feedback
Impacts of Good and Bad Feedback
If you give someone a comment like "Interesting!", the person who receives the comment will not benefit or actually get anything from it. But if you add what you thought was interesting, then the person will know exactly what you are trying to say. The same goes if you have a negative comment. Everybody's work has mistakes and could be improved, so if you want to tell them that they have something that needs to be corrected or changed then be specific and tell them exactly what needs to be changed.

What I Am Going To Investigate?

I will continue to investigate other ways to save water in the bathroom. I think that there are many more ways to save water. I will also investigate the advantages of water conservation.

My Presentation





Here are a few ways to save water in the Bathroom
- When you are showering put a bucket in the shower to collect water, you can then use the water to wash the car or water the plants.
- Turn off the tap when brushing your teeth(it saves 2 gallons per minute)
- Fill up a bottle with sand or water and put it in the toilet water tank. Whenever you flush the toilet, you save a bottle of water.
- Get a toilet with a “half-flush and full-flush”
