Today’s Gratitude Item: Using a comment bank to generate end of year reports for my students. Doing this allows comments to be recycled and prevents those embarrassing pronoun errors. It also guarantees that the student’s name will be correct. Best of all, once a comment from the bank has been put on the report, it can be edited / changed if desired. I’ve never used a comment bank before but this approach has its advantages. This time around, the entire process was very quick and incredibly simple.
