The AI Writing Workshop is an essay revision tool that provides students with immediate feedback and direct access to live teacher comments, helping them improve steadily with each revision as they prepare for their final draft.

Scroll down to see the steps written out. For a click sheet of the steps click here. 

AI Writing Workshop is compatible with Student Work (Graded by AI) questions with one writing prompt. A passage may be attached to the question and we recommend attaching a State Rubric for the best attuned AI feedback.

The tool works with ready-to-use activities like those available under Lessons/Assessments > Curricula intended for AI Writing Workshop, or ECR assessments [created by you.]

Note: AI Writing Workshop can't be used with Distributed assessments.

Additional Notes for Activation

  • Common assessments cannot be activated as an AI Writing Workshop.

Providing Feedback as The Teacher

  1. Find the Assessments in Progress listed on the dashboard and click View / End to open the Progress Overview screen. You may also click Quick Links at the top of the page.

  2. The students are listed on the left and the feedback is to the right of each student. The darker blue indicates what revision the student is currently on. Click Feedback on a finished draft (Finished drafts have a checkmark next to "Revision.") to view the student response and send a message directly to the student.

     

  3. Review the student's last draft, then (optionally) click the text box on the right to send students a message. Type the message and click Send.

        

  4. Click Close on the bottom right to return to the Progress Overview screen.
  5. Once students submit the final draft, you can adjust the final score and feedback. Click Feedback on the Final Revision.
  6. Review the writing then click and move the slider to adjust the final score.
  7. Click Edit Feedback For Student to edit the AI feedback.
  8. Click Close to return to the Progress Overview screen.
  9. When all students are done, click End Session.

Important notes about providing feedback

  • The grade (on the left) won't appear until the final revision is graded.
  • Teachers can only move the slider and edit the feedback for the final revision. 

  • You do not have to stay in the Progress Monitor screen. You can logout, navigate away, or click "Leave Session Active." However, you will need to come back and End the session so you and your team can get reports.
