Whenever you want your participants to take a deep look at their own work, go ahead with a self-assessment activity. This kind of assessment can be guided – and we are giving you a suggestion in the template about it, in order to provide just as an example some of the categories you might want them to consider – or without guidance, just asking students to look at their own products and give them feedback as if they were produced by another person. It is not easy, at the beginning, to learn how to express feedback about one’s own work, so it might be preferable to ask your students to do so after they have tried at least twice a peer assessment, in order to learn how to look at something with less prejudice (positive or negative) and more objectivity.
