Free tools:ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini
Time:2 minutes
Difficulty:Beginner
What You'll Get
Three sample student responses — strong, proficient, and approaching — that you can show students to clarify exactly what you're looking for.
The Prompt
Copy and paste this
Write 3 example student responses to this [assignment/prompt]: [describe or paste the prompt]. Write one at a "Meets Standard" level, one at "Exceeds Standard," and one at "Approaching Standard." Use realistic student writing voice — not perfect adult writing. Base the quality differences on these criteria: [list your rubric criteria].
Tips
Paste your actual rubric criteria rather than describing them generally — that's what makes the skill-level differences specific and useful. The "Approaching" example is your most teachable one; use it to show students exactly what's missing before they start their own work.
