Give written feedback on a student's essay that they will actually use

📝 The Prompt

I'm marking [type of writing assignment] from [grade/level]. The piece is [paste or describe]. Past experience: my detailed comments mostly don't get read, and the kid fixes the typos and ignores the structural issue. Help me write feedback that lands: (1) pick at most TWO things to give substantive feedback on — the highest-leverage issue and one positive pattern to keep, (2) phrase each as a question or invitation, not a verdict, (3) for the issue, name the underlying skill (not just 'this paragraph is unclear' — 'your topic sentences predict the wrong thing'), (4) end with one concrete revision task they could do in 15 minutes that would meaningfully improve the piece. Then write the actual feedback.

⚙️ Replace 3 placeholders: [type of writing assignment] [grade/level] [paste or describe]

🚀 How to use this prompt

  1. Copy the prompt using the 📋 button above.
  2. Open ChatGPT (or Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, or your preferred LLM).
  3. Paste the prompt into a new chat. Replace 3 bracketed placeholders ([type of writing assignment] [grade/level] [paste or describe] ) with your own details.
  4. Run the prompt and review the AI's response. Most outputs are usable immediately.
  5. Iterate if needed — if the tone, length, or structure isn't quite right, reply with "make it shorter", "use bullet points", or "make it more formal" and the AI will refine it.

💡 Tips for better results

  • Replace the bracketed placeholders ([type of writing assignment], [grade/level], [paste or describe]) with your own specifics before sending.
  • If the first output isn't quite right, ask the AI to refine, rewrite, or add more detail — iteration is key.
  • For long outputs, ask for a section at a time (e.g. 'start with the introduction only') to keep quality high.
  • Combine this with other education prompts to build an end-to-end workflow.
  • Save your favorite variations — small wording tweaks often produce noticeably different results.
