https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Comment-Bank-1218405
Do you run out of meaningful criticism for your students’ high school papers and work?
I created this comment bank because I had the same problem. After a little while, you don’t know what to write on a student’s test.
The Comment Bank has been constructed to save the Language Arts teacher time when offering constructive and helpful comments on students’ evaluations. Marking papers in any Language Arts class is always a lengthy process. Increasingly, teachers are being asked to write more detailed comments to highlight students’ strengths and weaknesses, and sometimes we run out of ideas. Being the vigilant teachers we are, and wanting to help our students achieve their potential is and will always be one of our priorities. To this end, when marking students’ papers, writing down everything we want to say to them about their papers would be a very lengthy process. I have decided to share my personal comment bank with you.
The bank comments on the following areas:
-Structure
-Communication
-The next step
-Mechanics
-Style
-Persuasion
-Analysis
The package contains 7 pages of comments, which are divided by levels of accomplishment A, B, C and D. (levels 100 to 50)
Included in this package are over 120 comments for students. You can get inspiration from these pages to hand write your comments, or you can do what I do and copy/paste your comments into a word document, print, and staple the comment to the students’ evaluations. This is a real time saver. Parents, students, and school administration LOVE this method of feedback. And, this way, it takes much less time to be much more efficient. I hope you enjoy it!

The document is completely modifiable, even the comments. The “grunt work” has been done for you.
This quickens the evaluation process and will help the teacher to write down information more quickly. This particular document has been embedded with drop down boxes with comments on: persuasion, information presented, analysis, style, structure, communication, sources and format.

Group work is always tricky to evaluate because there is so much going on. In addition, as educators, we are required to give detailed feedback on students’ performances.
I created this FREE document to make the teacher’s job easier, and to allow students to be responsible for their success as well.
Self-evaluation grids are a great way to guide students in their evaluations. Students will know exactly what is expected of them and will be made responsible for their success. This package can also easily be changed to be used as peer evaluations.
This self-evaluation grid will help students as well as teachers to assess students’ group work. When students use this grid to assess their work, there are no surprises when they receive their final mark. This grid, in particular, allows the students to become organized and responsible for their individual parts.
These self-evaluation grids are also very helpful to teachers:
Helps the teacher justify the final mark;
Helps to identify students’ weaknesses and strengths;
Helps parents and students better understand the task required;
Helps teachers create rubrics for the final evaluation.
Because of formatting issues, this package was created in a PDF document, but I can easily email you a Word file to be easily modified and changed according to the individual teacher’s needs.

After each viewing of approximately 20 minutes, students write for 10+ minutes (depending on length of period) to retell what they understood and can communicate about the story.
