🔍 Feedback Sorting with Smile Cards
K-LS1-1
Assessment
Essential Question
Students review picture-based feedback from Phase 4 usability tests (smiley face = clear, thinking face = confusing). As a class, they sort feedback cards into two chart columns: “Works Well” and “Needs Fixing.” The teacher models how to turn feedback into a simple improvement statement using sentence frames such as “We will add ___ so visitors can see ___.”
