Bryan-this is an excellent question. I think having some time between draft and send can help a ton in this regard. Perhaps, the first draft can be pure instinct, and then after a few hours you can revisit it and elevate the message away from the unnecessary pitfalls. I also think if a student is prepared for you to ‘speak plainly’ there is more wiggle room here (though that can be a tender situation so exercise caution!). Lastly-if you are concerned your ‘real voice’ isn’t coming across, there is always the option to switch to video message to pick up some of the nuances of your messaging (and your personality). Let me know if you need some assistance with creating video/audio feedback! x7265

Max-This is such an important thing to remember that I couldn’t sum up in one bullet point…editing down is such a key piece to this. You don’t have to add a ton of words/explanation for the student to feel respected-and it just may be overlooked because of it’s length. I think breaking up into paragraphs helps this a little, but when in doubt read it out-loud that is! I tend toward more words than necessary, so I am reading things out loud all the time. Thank you!

David-That was an example straight out of my imagination, but if you would like to explore using rubrics I’m around! x7265

K J Pataki- I totally agree, some of the messaging can be unpredictable. I guess that makes it even more important that we hold the ‘calm’ space as best as we can. Thanks for reading!
