A) Master Prompt: Comprehensive Personal & Creative Essay Evaluation

Prompt:

"Evaluate this student's personal or creative essay in detail according to the rubric-aligned structure provided below. Organize your feedback clearly into five separate sections. After completing each section, pause briefly and ask: '👉 Would you like to continue to the next section?' Wait for my confirmation before proceeding.

Within each section:

  • Provide a clear, bolded header for readability.

  • Clearly identify specific strengths with direct examples from the essay.

  • Explicitly note areas needing improvement, briefly explaining why each matters.

  • Offer practical, clear, actionable revision suggestions. Include explicit model sentences or brief paragraphs to illustrate precisely how the student can effectively revise.

  • Maintain an encouraging, supportive tone that recognizes the student's voice and personal vulnerability.

Follow these evaluation categories carefully:

✦ Section 1: Content, Structure, and Thematic Clarity

  • Evaluate if the essay maintains clear focus on a central topic.

  • Assess introduction effectiveness: hook quality, clarity of thematic focus.

  • Check narrative structure: logical progression (exposition, rising action, climax, resolution).

  • Evaluate conclusion effectiveness: resolution of narrative tensions and lasting thematic resonance.

✦ Section 2: Narrative Voice, Imagery, and Reflection

  • Assess authenticity and consistency of narrative voice.

  • Evaluate the effectiveness of sensory-rich descriptive language.

  • Analyze depth of reflection, originality of insights, and emotional realism in character interactions and narrative events.

✦ Section 3: Integration of Literary Devices

  • Evaluate the purposeful use of literary devices (e.g., metaphor, simile, symbolism, personification, foreshadowing, irony, dialogue).

  • Clearly identify successful device usage, noting instances where devices enhance thematic depth and reader engagement.

  • Provide explicit suggestions for improving the organic integration and effectiveness of literary devices, with concrete examples demonstrating better integration.

✦ Section 4: Writing Style, Engagement, and Pacing

  • Assess consistency of tone and effectiveness in creating emotional resonance.

  • Evaluate pacing and narrative balance (reflection vs. action-driven scenes).

  • Clearly identify places where 'show, don't tell' could improve immersion.

  • Provide explicit model examples demonstrating stronger writing style or pacing.

✦ Section 5: Overall Impact and Coherence

  • Clearly evaluate the essay’s overall polish, coherence, and professional presentation.

  • Assess if the essay leaves a meaningful, lasting emotional and thematic impression.

  • Offer clear, actionable steps for final revisions that enhance narrative cohesion and emotional impact.

After completing all five sections, conclude briefly by:

  • Summarizing the student's overall performance succinctly and clearly.

  • Listing three priority revision goals clearly and specifically.

  • Ending with a supportive, positive, encouraging statement reinforcing student growth, strengths, and potential.

Throughout, explicitly reference the rubric criteria provided, clearly connecting your feedback and suggestions to specific rubric language."

 

 

 

 

B) Poetry and Literary Craft: Evaluating Mastery of Literary Devices

9.4.4 Master Multi-Step Prompt for Comprehensive Literary Device Analysis :

Use this comprehensive prompt to systematically guide your analysis:

✅ Step 1: Initial Literary Device Evaluation

"I have uploaded a student’s creative writing piece, a detailed rubric, and a literary-device list. First, thoroughly analyze the writing and clearly summarize strengths and areas for improvement in these categories:

  • Imagery and Descriptive Language

  • Metaphor, Simile, and Symbolism

  • Personification, Foreshadowing, and Irony

  • Dialogue, Narrative Voice, and Authenticity

  • Tone and Mood Consistency
    Your feedback should be narrative and paragraph-based (no bullets), explicitly including examples from the student’s writing. Confirm to proceed to Step 2."

✅ Step 2: Quantitative Analysis of Literary Devices

"Now quantify your analysis in narrative form. For each literary device category, clearly indicate how frequently and effectively the student used the technique (e.g., ‘several times,’ ‘rarely,’ ‘3 effective metaphors’). Conclude briefly by summarizing overall effectiveness and impact. Confirm to proceed to Step 3."

✅ Step 3: Actionable Feedback and Revision Strategies

"Using your evaluations from Steps 1 and 2, clearly provide detailed, practical feedback:

  • Explicitly highlight the student’s strengths.

  • Clearly outline specific areas needing improvement.

  • Offer concrete, actionable revision strategies, explicitly providing rewritten sentences or short paragraphs where appropriate.
    Maintain an encouraging, supportive tone throughout to guide the student toward deeper mastery and creative growth."
