The document describes two alternative teaching methods: gallery critique and desk graffiti. Gallery critique involves students anonymously providing feedback on each other's work by leaving comments on post-it notes. Desk graffiti refers to transforming student desks into giant whiteboards for interactive class activities like essay planning. Both methods aim to make peer assessment and review more engaging for students through collaborative and anonymous feedback.

10. Benefits of gallery critique
• Students get a better understanding of the criteria/demands of a
task.
• They learn from reading a range of different answers.
• They take it seriously.
• They like working in silence – it gives them a real sense of purpose and
focus.
• Gives peer assessment a real focus and kudos.
• It’s anonymous- there’s no stigma (plus they’re too focused on reading
and marking).
• Saves you time.
• It can work across a range of subjects. The description outlined here
is with a written task in MFL, but it could just as easily be done with
pieces of art or PE/drama performances, by filming them and then
playing them back on a number of tablets.
