Which of the following is an example of feedback that does not meet the "Red, Yellow, Green" principles of a critique group? I like the way the sound matched the movement. I did not understand why the sprite moved off the screen. Could you use an "if on edge, bounce block? It seems like the background did not change when it was supposed to. Can you fix this? I did not like any part of the project.

The statement "I did not like any part of the project." does not meet the "Red, Yellow, Green" principles of a critique group. These principles are meant to guide constructive feedback, aiming to be specific (Red), asking questions or suggesting improvements (Yellow), and highlighting positives (Green). The provided statement is vague, overly negative, and does not offer any constructive guidance or suggestion, which is not helpful for the recipient in understanding what could be improved or how to improve it.

Extra: The "Red, Yellow, Green" model for giving feedback in a critique group or in a peer-review setting is designed to encourage constructive and balanced feedback. The idea is to include:

1. Red: Positive remarks on what was done well. This helps to encourage and validate the efforts of the person receiving feedback. For instance, "I like the way the sound matched the movement" is a positive comment that acknowledges a specific strength in the work.

2. Yellow: Constructive comments or questions about what might be unclear or could be improved, without being harsh or negative. For example, "I did not understand why the sprite moved off the screen. Could you use an 'if on edge, bounce' block?" is a constructive comment that points out a potential issue and even suggests a solution.

3. Green: Suggestions on how to improve the aspects that may not be working as well. For example, "It seems like the background did not change when it was supposed to. Can you fix this?" This is a suggestion that identifies a specific problem and implies the need for a solution or improvement.

In educational settings, this method can create a positive atmosphere where students feel supported in their learning process and are guided on how to make practical enhancements to their work. The key to this approach is specificity, kindness, and the intent to help the creator improve their work.
