Student Self Writing Check

Students can use Scribo to check their writing at any time. Hand ownership back to students before they hand their errors over to you.

Check writing at any time, as students write

Give students more responsibility for their writing to learn as much as they can, as they write. There is no value in GPS (Grammar, Punctuation and Spelling) corrections for a teacher, especially across multiple essays from multiple students, all the time.

Students profile their writing prompt – Scribo builds the context

The Activity context created by teachers is created by Scribo to guide students and personalise feedback.

Each student account has a 'Personal Writing Check' space that is not connected to class activities.

2. Select the type of Writing Check – Quick or Advanced

A quick writing check will only ask for year and subject. Advanced Writing check asks for the question. Select Advanced Writing Check.

3. Profile the activity – build a writing context to check your text

Give the Activity a title. Enter the writing prompt for your text. Make sure it is the entire question. Scribo reads the question, searches for keywords and instruction words and builds the writing context used in the writing check.

4. Alter, change or accept the writing context Scribo extracts

Tailor the keywords, limiting words and select the right instruction words. Not all questions have verbs as instruction words. Our recommendation is to locate the question requirements and tag the correct instruction words. You can correct these any time and rerun your writing check. The Instruction words link to the style analysis Scribo presents in writing check reports.

5. Set up a Writing Plan

If you would like to build a writing plan for your text, select 'Set up a writing plan'.

Select the style of Writing Plan you are used to using or that your school follows. You can choose any type and add or change the number of paragraphs and headings.
