> The book suggests sharing the "Principles for Giving Feedback," on p. 198 of Creative Acts for Curious People before starting.
You need groups of 3 for this activity. Each member of the trio will play a specific role:
- the presenter
- the critic
- the observer
You will conduct two feedback sessions, each with a slightly different focus.
## Session 1
Focus on separating the person from the work.
The first person takes 2 minutes to present their work.
Then, the second person takes 2 minutes to critique the first person's work.
And the third person takes two minutes to share what they noticed about the dynamic between the presenter and the critic.
Rotate the roles so each person is in a new role, and repeat the process. Do this again so everyone has played each role.
Pause to reflect with your trio.
*How did that session feel?*
*How did the different roles feel?*
*Did you learn anything new about your skills in giving and receiving feedback?*
*Any other insights?*

## Session 2
Focus on the goal of the work.
What elements of the work are related to its objective?
Do those elements meet the objective?
Why or why not?
Use the same timing of two minutes per role, and rotate the roles for three rounds as before.
Again, pause to reflect and discuss how it went.
