Example AI Feedback for 1st Grade Research
This is the kind of feedback LessonDraft generates — specific, quote-based, and actionable.
Your research question 'How do bees help plants grow?' is clear, and you answer it in the first paragraph — well organized. You use two sources (the book and the video) and name both — great. Fact 3 in paragraph 2 is very similar to the wording in your source. Revision: rewrite fact 3 in your own words by imagining you're explaining it to a younger student.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which citation format does the AI check — MLA or APA?
Tell the AI which format you're using (MLA or APA) in your grading notes. If you don't specify, the AI will note citation patterns without scoring a specific format.
Can the AI check whether sources are credible?
The AI can flag source types that may be less credible (Wikipedia, personal blogs) and note when sources are vague or anonymous. It cannot access URLs to verify source content — students must provide full citations.
