The big idea
Real writing feedback takes 15 minutes per essay. With 120 students, that's 30 hours. AI can draft personalized feedback you then review and customize — cutting time by 60%.
Some examples
- Paste an essay; AI flags top 3 strengths and 2 next steps.
- Ask AI to match feedback to the rubric you used.
- Generate a class-wide pattern report from 30 essays.
- Have AI suggest mini-lessons based on common errors.
Try it!
Pick one essay. Have AI draft feedback. Review, edit, and time how long it took.
Key terms in this lesson
Practice this safely
Try this with a school, hobby, or family example where the stakes are low. Use the AI output as a draft you can question, not as the final answer.
- 1Ask AI to explain feedback in plain language, then underline anything that sounds uncertain or too broad.
- 2Give it one detail from "AI That Gives Detailed Writing Feedback Faster" and ask for two possible next steps plus one reason each step might be wrong.
- 3Check writing instruction against a trusted source, teacher, adult, expert, or original document before you use it.
