Success Feedback – identifies what was done correctly, describes a feature of the work & points out effective use of strategy. Example: You got all the questions on parallel and perpendicular lines right.

Intervention feedback – identifies areas in need of improvement and provides enough information so that the student understands what to do next. Example: The meaning of the paraphrased information in paragraph 3 does not come through clearly. Try underlining the key ideas in the original and rewrite in your own words. Then try your paragraph again.
