Paper to think with
A space for students to think and write, with calm AI guidance.
One class, up to 30 pupils. No card required.
How does Priestley present responsibility through the Inspector?
Priestley uses the Inspector as a mouthpiece for his own socialist views. When he tells the Birlings that “we are members of one body,” he is speaking to the 1945 audience as much as to the family.
By contrast, Mr Birling dismisses community as “nonsense”, which shows that he only cares about himself and his business
For pupils, teachers and schools
For pupils
A coach that asks questions
Pupils ask the Writing Coach for help and get a question back about their own essay. Writing checks show as a small dot beside a finished paragraph and open only when the pupil clicks it.
- Start their own documents
- Copy a page you share and work on their own version
For teachers
See how each piece was written
When you mark, each piece shows time spent, sessions, pastes and Writing Coach use. The class view shows who is stuck while the lesson is still running.
- Comments in the margin
- Return work for another draft
For schools
Control over AI
Choose class by class whether the Writing Coach and writing suggestions are on. AI help has firm limits per pupil, class and school, and pupils can always write, save and submit without it.
- No pupil emails or passwords
- Staff accounts managed by your school
The writing record
Each submission shows how long the pupil spent writing, how many sessions it took, how much was pasted in and how many questions they asked the Writing Coach.
Conversations with the Writing Coach are not stored. Teachers see how many questions a pupil asked, not what they said.
