In 7th grade social studies, Mr. Dunne's students are writing an essay answering the question: How did the events between 1763 and 1776 transform the Colonists from loyal subjects into patriots ready for revolution?
Part of the revision process involved using AI to give feedback on their essays. Magicschool.AI gives each student grade-appropriate feedback on what they did well, what they can improve on, and feedback on their writing mechanics. Mr. Dunne can't be everywhere at once, but using AI can help students identify writing needs!
