This round you're only grading Evidence and Explanation, so start every bullet with \"Evidence:\" or \"Explanation:\", point to her own words, and say nothing on spelling or grammar. Don't rewrite the paragraph or add facts for her. Write a prompt that gets you exactly that.","materialLabel":"Maya's paragraph and your rubric (attached to your prompt automatically)","material":"ASSIGNMENT: Argument paragraph - Should our school start later?\nStudent: Maya T. (8th grade, period 3)\n\nMaya's paragraph:\nSchools should start later because teenagers need more sleep. Studies show that teens who sleep more do better in school. At my old school we started at 8:45 and I was way less tired then. Alot of my freinds fall asleep in first period. Also, if school started later there would be less car accidents becuase students would be more awake. That is why school should start at 8:30 or later.\n\n---\nRUBRIC - Argument Paragraph\nClaim (4 pts): clear position. NOT GRADED this round.\nEvidence (4 pts): at least two specific, relevant pieces of evidence; says where facts come from.\nExplanation (4 pts): explains HOW each piece of evidence supports the claim (\"this shows...\", \"because...\").\nConventions (4 pts): spelling, grammar, punctuation. NOT GRADED this round.\n\nMy reminders:\n- Feedback format: 1 glow, 2 grows. Talk to the student, not about them.\n- Fire drill moved to Wednesday.","rules":[{"type":"maxBullets","max":3},{"type":"maxWords","max":75},{"type":"plainText"}],"mistakes":[{"title":"Asking for \"feedback\" with no focus","why":"The AI comments on everything, spelling first, and never says which rubric line each comment is about.","fix":"Add: \"Start each bullet with Evidence: or Explanation:.
