I'm supposed to get my kids to speak better American English. So I asked them to listen to each other talk and write down two things about each person's speech: one great thing and one thing that should be worked on.
So, it was also a lesson in American constructive criticism. I EXPLICITLY told them not to just say "you did great." One did follow the explicit directions, but like my sister found a loophole...and just came up with increasingly interesting comments about his classmates.
