Analyze the Medals

I keep a running tally of all the medals awarded. After we have read everyone’s writing, I call attention to it. The chart gives a rough picture of the strengths of the whole group on that day,

Usually after a session of awarding medals, there is not much time or energy to do much of an analysis, but a comment about which medals were most or least awarded sums up the day’s work. I then take the opportunity to focus on something I would like them to pay attention to the next time they write.
