Using Deepseek to generate a checklist for students to check their composition

 

My prompt

Please create a checklist containing eight points to help students check a composition that they have written.

The result:

Here’s a clear and student-friendly checklist with 8 key points to help junior secondary students review their compositions before submission:

Composition Self-Check Checklist

  1. Grammar & Spelling

    • Have I checked for spelling mistakes and corrected them?
    • Are my verb tenses and subject-verb agreement correct?
  2. Punctuation

    • Did I use capital letters, full stops, commas, and question marks correctly?
  3. Sentence Structure

    • Are my sentences complete (not fragments or run-ons)?
    • Did I vary my sentence lengths for better flow?
  4. Paragraphing

    • Does each paragraph focus on one main idea?
    • Did I start a new paragraph when changing topics or speakers?
  5. Content & Clarity

    • Is my writing clear and easy to understand?
    • Did I stay on topic and avoid irrelevant details?
  6. Supporting Details

    • Have I included enough examples, descriptions, or explanations?
    • Do my ideas connect logically?
  7. Vocabulary & Word Choice

    • Did I use interesting and appropriate words?
    • Have I avoided repeating the same words too often?
  8. Overall Impact

    • Does my composition have a strong beginning, middle, and end?
    • Would someone enjoy reading this?

How to Use:

  • Students should tick (✓) each box if they’ve checked it.
  • If they can’t tick a box, they should revise that part.

Using Deepseek to generate a rubric for students to evaluate their composition

 just tried Deepseek: 

My prompt:

please create a rubric to help junior secondary students to assess a composition that they have written. This rubric should be in the form of a table. The two criteria for self-assessing are grammatical accuracy, and quality of content. The 4 performance levels of unsatisfactory, satisfactory, good, and excellent. 


The result: 

Here’s a clear and concise rubric in table format to help junior secondary students self-assess their compositions based on grammatical accuracy and quality of content:

Criteria Unsatisfactory (1) Satisfactory (2) Good (3) Excellent (4)
Grammatical Accuracy Many errors in grammar, spelling, and punctuation, making the text difficult to understand. Some errors, but they do not severely disrupt understanding. Few errors; grammar and punctuation are mostly correct. Almost no errors; grammar, spelling, and punctuation are consistently accurate.
Quality of Content Ideas are unclear or off-topic; little to no supporting details. Some relevant ideas, but development is weak or repetitive. Clear and relevant ideas with some supporting details. Well-developed, engaging, and original ideas with strong supporting details.

How to Use the Rubric:

  • Students should read their composition carefully and assign a score (1–4) for each criterion.
  • They can reflect on areas for improvement based on the descriptors.

This rubric encourages self-assessment while keeping the criteria simple and measurable. Let me know if you'd like any adjustments!
