AI in the Writing Classroom, Part 3: A Tool for Finding Student Voice
In this third episode of our three-part series, hosted by author and educator Kelly Gallagher, we press further into the concept of using AI as a writing partner, not a replacement. Kristina Peterson and Dennis Magliozzi are co-authors of the brand new book, AI in the Writing Workshop. And today alongside Kelly, they explore how their own students have used AI to grow their voices in poetry and personal narrative. Their approach empowers students to gain independence in their writing voice and autonomy in their learning. By sharing real examples from their classroom, Kristina and Dennis demonstrate how to train AI on their rubrics and guide students to prompt for multiple choices with AI feedback. They also encourage students to push back against AI, a strategy that has proven effective as students often feel more comfortable challenging AI feedback than teacher feedback.
