WRITE it!
Behind the curtain: a teacher account with a sample class. Nothing here is live.
Behind the curtain

A teacher account, screen by screen.

This page walks through a WRITE it! teacher account the way a teacher uses it during a week: setting up classes, assigning a passage and prompt, watching students work, and reading the reports that come back. The teacher, the students, and their writing are invented for this walkthrough. The screens are the real product, captured at full size, so you see exactly what a teacher sees.

Nothing on this page opens the tool. Each image is a still of one screen. To try WRITE it! with your own roster, request a quote and we will set up a live account for your team.

Sample class: Ms. Rivera, 3rd Period ELAR, Grades 3-5. Student names are first name and last initial only. The suggested grades on the report screens were produced by the product's own rubric scoring from the sample writing.

The teacher's home screen

Ms. Rivera signs in and lands here. Her two classes, three active assignments, and the seven writing activities she can assign are each one click away. The recent assignments list links straight to student work.

WRITE it! teacher dashboard for Ms. Rivera: sidebar with Overview, Assignments, New assignment, Students, Content library, Writing Coach and Writing Basics; cards for New assignment, Assignments and Students; weekly stats showing 3 active assignments, 45 students enrolled and 2 classes; a row of seven writing activities; and a recent assignments list with join codes.

Class rosters, no student accounts

Each class is a roster of first names and last initials. Every student is assigned an animal and a five-character code, so there are no student logins or passwords to manage. Students can be added one at a time or pasted in bulk.

Classes screen with two classes listed, 3rd Period ELAR with 24 students and 5th Period ELAR with 21, and the 3rd Period roster table showing each student's name, animal, code and class, with Rename, Move and Merge actions.

Building an assignment from the library

She picks a grade band, then a passage and prompt from the built-in library. "The Last Leaf" arrives with its prompt, key evidence, and a model response already attached, and the passage text and prompt fill in below. She then checks the activities students will complete, in order, and assigns it to a class.

New assignment wizard with Grades 3-5 selected, the library picker filtered to Grade 5 fiction with The Last Leaf selected, the passage title, text and prompt filled in, three activities checked under Which tools should students use, and the assignment set to 3rd Period ELAR.

Every assignment has a join code

Each assignment gets a six-character join code. Students type the code, not a login. The list shows which assignments are live, which are still drafts, and how many activities each one includes.

Assignments list with four rows: The Gift of the Magi as a draft, and The Last Leaf, How Volcanoes Form and The Story of Braille as active, each with a join code, grade band and tool count, and a View submissions link.

What a student sees when joining

A student enters the join code and the name on the roster. They receive a resume code so they can pick up where they left off later, on any device, and then open the first activity.

Student join screen after entering a code: a card reading You're in, Ready to write: The Last Leaf, a five-character resume code, the student's name for the assignment, and a button to open the writing activity.

Drafting with Helga, the writing coach

The student writes one paragraph at a time with the prompt, thesis and plan beside them. Helga reads the draft the way a STAAR scorer would. Here she has answered the student's question about evidence, and her checklist shows the conclusion still needs a second sentence. The Submit button does not go through until the list is complete, and the on-prompt meter at the bottom is anchored to the TEA rubric wording.

Rough draft screen for The Last Leaf with the prompt, thesis and plan in a left panel, four paragraph boxes containing a student's draft, Helga's coaching card showing 7 of 8 in place, her answer to Do I have enough evidence, a before-you-can-submit checklist with the conclusion unchecked, the small robot parked above the card, and an on-prompt check reading Green: fully on prompt.

Prompt analysis, one step at a time

Before drafting, the student boxes the actual prompt inside the STAAR-format page, names the prompt type, taps the keywords, defines them, and rewrites the prompt as a question. Step 6 is a T-chart of evidence and meaning. The grade band and its wording are set by the teacher, not the student.

Prompt analysis activity for How Volcanoes Form: the passage on the left, the prompt in STAAR format on the right with the prompt boxed and the keywords volcano, forms and erupts highlighted, a seven-step progress rail at step 6, and a T-chart with two evidence entries and one meaning entry.

Backwards ECR: the frame is written

The introduction, topic sentences, and conclusion are already written. The student highlights proof in the passage, drops it into the blank, and explains what it shows in their own words. This screen uses the built-in practice passage, "The Firefly Jar"; the first blank is filled and explained, the second is still open.

Backwards ECR activity with The Firefly Jar passage on the left and, on the right, the prompt, a four-move guide, a progress bar reading 2 of 4, an essay frame with the first evidence quote dropped in and a one-sentence explanation typed, and a second blank waiting for evidence.

The class report for an assignment

As students turn work in, the teacher sees who has finished, the average suggested grade, and the class grouped by TEA rubric tier. Keywords the class is missing are listed. Each student card shows the response exactly as it was turned in, the suggested grade with its reasons, and a box for a note the student will see. This capture shows the summary and the first three cards of twenty.

Submissions report for The Last Leaf: 20 of 23 turned in, average suggested grade 3.9 out of 5, 88 percent of activities completed, 3 still working; prompt-analysis groups On-Prompt, On-Track, Drifting and Off-Prompt with student names; keywords the class is missing; and student cards for Marcus B., Priya K. and Nadia S. with a suggested grade of 5 out of 5, the full response, the prompt analysis and a teacher note box.

One submission, with a suggested grade

The scoring view shows the student's work part by part and a suggested grade in the TEA two-trait frame: Development and Organization from 0 to 3, Conventions from 0 to 2, with the reasons behind it. The teacher confirms or changes the score and writes a note the student sees when they return with their resume code.

Submission detail for Marcus B.: the turned-in response on the left broken into Backwards ECR, prompt analysis and two color parts; on the right an on-prompt check reading Green, a two-trait TEA rubric scorer, a suggested grade of 5 out of 5 with Development and Organization 3 of 3 and Conventions 2 of 2 and a bulleted rationale, a Use suggested score button, and a notes box for the student.

Prompt analysis class report

A sample report from the prompt analysis activity. It names the students who are off prompt, the students who set up the wrong kind of essay, how many reasons made it into each thesis, and a directional projection if the class drafted today.

Sample prompt analysis report for Period 3 headed 6 students are off prompt and need a redo before drafting, with a red card listing six students, an amber card listing eight students who tagged the prompt as the wrong type, a thesis depth bar and a projected ECR score bar.

Two-color revising report

Two-color revising asks students to mark prompt keywords in one color and meaning in another. The sample report shows who highlighted the wrong things, who found evidence but stopped before explaining it, and the balance of marks across the class.

Sample two-color revising report for Period 3 headed 13 students find evidence but stop before explaining it, with a dark card listing three students to pull first, a card of thirteen students who marked evidence but little meaning, an evidence versus meaning bar and a projected score bar.

Reading report

The Read to Write report groups students by how far their notes reached into the passage's meaning before any drafting began: surface readers, literal readers, and deep readers, with the same directional projection.

Sample reading report for Period 3 headed 6 students never got past the surface of the story, with a dark card of six surface readers, a card of eight literal readers, a reading depth bar showing 6 surface, 8 literal and 10 deep, and a projected ECR score bar.
