Student Writing Check

With Activity options set, students get the level of support and experience teachers want them to have.

Students have a complete teacher connected panel

Core Components

1. Activities To Do – any writing tasks that students have been assigned will be shown by class. Classes are shown along the top. Each Student also has a private Class where they can do student based writing checks with topics and activities that are outside of the teacher-led activities.

2. Everything that is Complete is kept. All history and feedback is online, all the time.

3. Open the Activity.

4. Students can create their own personal Writing Checks, outside of the Activity context teachers assign. A Commerce student might use this, even though his or her Commerce teacher does not.

5. Each Student gets Writing Insights that show where they have made errors and where they have reduced them with Scribo.

Student Writing Check – the Detail

Depending on the Activity Context - Students have support sections

1. Navigation

Features are shown

Activity setup options enable the features available to the students.

This student has the full complement of features, EXCEPT Show Keywords

• Writing Check

• Rubric Marking

• Feedback

• Writing Plan

• Scaffold

If the Show Keywords option had been enabled, they would be shown under Topic.

Students see their text, or enter their text, and the Writing Stimulus. Everyone gets the same writing Stimulus – pictures, videos, tips and hints – whatever you added when you created the Activity. >> Exams usually don't have stimulus text, however in this context, stimulus text could be used for instructions.

2. The Targets

Each Essay/Writing Activity can have targets – they are always shown in the same place.

3. The Topic

The question you asked is here. The more or less you add to the question, the more or less text is shown here. Keywords are shown here if the option to show is enabled.

4. The Text Area

• If the original document is linked from Word or Google Docs by the student, Scribo links the text from that document and brings it into vision here. The text is not editable as that needs to be done in Google or Word. A link is given back to the document.

• If the student's text is cut and pasted or even written into Scribo, the text is editable and any suggested changes can be accepted.

• Grammar, Spelling and Punctuation is enabled in text that is controlled by Scribo. In Word and Google the spelling and grammar is done by Word or Google.

• Scribo does not support images in the Scribo Text panel. Images in Word and Google Docs will be excluded.

The Scribo Text area is a 'Cold Writing' environment

This feature allows Scribo to be used in a formative or summative test environment where no grammar and spelling support is offered to students. This is what we call a cold writing ability. This is very useful for teachers to quickly set up a task and see where students' skills are at.

In Text mode and Cold Writing mode, teachers can watch all progress via Live Monitoring.
