The AI Writing Feedback Tool gives a frame for feedback on student essays, with argument structure, evidence quality, paragraph coherence, voice, and sentence-level style, so ELA teachers have a clear structure for richer feedback on more essays.

Questions teachers ask
How does this tool change the grading workflow for an ELA teacher with five sections?
The tool handles the analytical annotation that currently takes so long per essay. The teacher reviews the generated feedback, adjusts any comments that need personalization, and adds the human observations that require knowing the student, their growth journey, their specific struggles, encouragement for genuine improvement. The workflow shifts from generating feedback to reviewing and personalizing feedback. For a teacher with five sections of 30 students, a shared structure can make the feedback easier to manage.
Can students submit essays directly to the tool for pre-submission feedback?
No. Students do not hold accounts here, and this tool is for a signed-in teacher. The teacher pastes the writing, and the template gives a feedback outline to fill in. With your own key, Improve with AI drafts feedback that you read, edit and pass on.
Does the tool handle creative writing genres like fiction and poetry differently?
The tool is optimized for academic essay writing (argumentative, analytical, informational, research-based. Creative writing genres) fiction, poetry, creative nonfiction (have different conventions that the academic essay criteria would evaluate incorrectly. An intentional sentence fragment in a poem would be flagged as a style issue when it is actually a craft choice. For creative writing feedback, use the tool for the revision comments that apply to any writing) sentence variety, word choice precision, coherence, and rely on your own judgment for the craft-specific dimensions.
How do I calibrate the tool for different essay types within the same course?
Say the essay type at the top of the text before running each analysis, argumentative, literary analysis, personal narrative, research paper. The tool can apply criteria appropriate to the genre: argument structure criteria for argumentative essays, narrative arc criteria for personal narratives, source integration criteria for research papers. Different types of writing require different feedback criteria.
Can the tool be used by students with different writing abilities in the same class?
The tool is for the teacher, as students do not hold accounts, and it supports differentiated ELA instruction. The tool provides feedback at the level of the writing, it identifies issues in a struggling student's essay and issues in an advanced student's essay, both calibrated to the assignment expectations and the specific content of each student's writing. Every student gets specific feedback on their actual essay, not generic feedback that applies to the whole class.
