  3. Fill in the highlighted blank ([GRADE AND SUBJECT]) below, or edit them after pasting.
  4. Copy the prompt, paste it into the chat and send.

Prompt

Remix
The attached files are my rubric and a student essay for [GRADE AND SUBJECT].

1. Score the essay on each rubric criterion, quoting the sentences that justify each score.
2. Write feedback for the student: two specific strengths, two specific next steps, in encouraging language suited to their age.
3. Note any part of the rubric that was hard to apply, so I can make it clearer.

Give me a suggested mark, but I will make the final call.
