Step one ✎Read the Assignment

Before you write a single word, let's understand what you're being asked to do.

G
Hi! I'm your writing coach.
I'll walk with you through every step — no tiny boxes.

1Your Prompt

Want to read offline, annotate, or work on paper? Open a printable handout with the prompt, full source text, Close Read questions, and rubric. From there you can print, save as PDF, or download the file.

2Quick Check — What is this prompt asking?

In your own words, answer these three questions.

Step two ✎Prewrite & Plan

Build a map before you draft.

G
Welcome back. Time to plan.
A strong plan makes the draft way easier.

Honest thinking matters more than perfect answers. Nothing here is graded, and messy notes are exactly what we want.

Before you draft: Read back over what you just planned. If something feels shaky, fix it now — it's easier than fixing it later.

Step three ✎Draft Your Piece

Turn your plan into real paragraphs. Don't stress about perfection.

G
This is your first draft.
Ugly first drafts become beautiful final drafts. Just start.

Below is one big writing space — you deserve room to think, not a tiny box.

Important: I won't write any sentences for you. But I'll give you sentence starters if you get stuck. This writing is your voice.

Step four ✎Revise & Polish

Read with fresh eyes. Read your draft out loud — you'll catch things your eyes miss.

G
Let's sharpen it.
Check what matters most for this genre.

I'll ask you questions the rubric will ask. Check each box when you've looked for that thing. If something's weak, go back and fix it.

Revision Checklist
Read each item, then check it off once you've looked for that in your draft. Your revision checklist is here when you need it.

    1Edit your draft

    Make changes directly below. This is the version we'll submit.

    Pro tip: If a sentence feels boring to you, it'll feel boring to the reader.

    2Want a second set of eyes?

    Before you submit, I can read through your piece section by section and ask you questions — no scores, no judgment. Just things to think about.

    Step five ✎Submit & Get Feedback

    Send it in for evaluation against the rubric for this assignment.

    G
