How to Give Feedback to Student Playwrights

Created by Nicholas Pappas

6 modules 1 hours, 23 minutes 3 Credit Hours playwriting

The two big questions we’re going to answer in this course are: What is feedback? And, What is useful feedback? Now, if you asked a hundred people to answer these two questions, you’ll likely get a hundred different answers, but at its core, all the answers will focus on giving notes that will improve the work, which, in this case, is our student’s plays. And, as a teacher, that’s what your hope is, right? To help your students improve as writers, one work at a time.

We want our students to write, and to grow through their writing. If we want our students to get better, we need to get better. Understanding the definition of feedback, and understanding how to provide useful feedback is the key to all of us getting better.

Join Nick Pappas in this course designed to give you the tools to help your student writers find their voice.
