Notes*

Allow the appraising group to be the main critics (each member of the appraising group has to provide their appraisal), before allowing the rest of the class to volunteer their opinions.

Peer appraisal is to allow students to be more aware of what helps improve the oral delivery of the radio advertisement. When they attempt the radio advertisement themselves, they can utilize what they had mentioned in their peer appraisals on their own performances. After being appraised, students can watch out for their shortcomings and strengths in other groups’ performances and solidify their understanding of what is required for a good oral delivery of the radio advertisement.
