Prompt preview

Give feedback on this student draft for grades 6-8. Assignment: Personal narrative about a challenge you overcame Draft: Student draft Focus on: ideas and development, organization Use a glow and grow format: two specific strengths quoting the draft, then at most two next steps with an example of how to fix one sentence. Write to the student directly, in language they'll understand. Don't rewrite the essay for them. I teach [Subject] to [Grade] at [School], a [public / private / charter] school. My class has [Number] students, including English learners and students with IEPs or 504 plans. Write at a reading level my students can handle, use clear headings and short paragraphs, and keep materials printable in black and white. Never invent student names, scores, diagnoses or personal details: use placeholders like [Student] where something is missing. Align to my state standards when I name them, and keep everything inclusive and age-appropriate.
