This is where marking usually begins.

You have just uploaded your Year 11 Generations narrative SAC. Here is one response, exactly as it was scanned. Normally you would decode the handwriting first, then start again with the next one. Writeiq has already read it.

The pink floral apron caught my eye first. Id never seen anything like it. Not because it was pretty but because its pattern seemed too bright for this dull kitchen. Something sharp lingers in the air, herbs maybe, but not fresh, more like their scent stripped out too quickly...

HandwritingReady to read

The transcription is a reading aid. Your rubric, your judgement, and your confirmed score are what count. Nothing is scored until you say so.

One judgement · aligned to your rubric

You make the call. You confirm it.

Writeiq reads the evidence against each of the nine IWAF criteria and shows its working, with a quote from the writing for every one. You review it, adjust anything you like, and confirm. Tap any criterion to see the evidence you are reviewing.

Writeiq never finalises a score on its own. A teacher confirms every judgement.

Reviewing the evidence...
The moment that saves your week

Confirm once. Three things happen.

That single confirmed judgement does not just sit in a markbook. It becomes feedback for the student, a lesson for Monday, and a data point for the whole school, all at once, with no re-entry.

For the student

IWAF-aligned feedback in language they can act on, built from a strength and one clear next step.

For Monday

A gradual-release lesson on the criterion the class most needs next. Modelled, guided, independent.

For the school

The same judgement rolls up into whole-school literacy data. No spreadsheets, no re-keying.

One marking event · three outputs

Everything below came from that one score.

Notice the through-line. This writer's steadiest area was ideas and voice; the clearest next step was cohesion, where tense slipped and two apostrophes went astray. That is what shapes the feedback, the Monday lesson, and the school signal.

Strength · Ideas & content
Your central idea, intergenerational tension told through a quiet act of repair in the kitchen, is original and handled with real maturity. The apron, the oven and the broken dish carry the meaning without you having to explain it. Hold onto that restraint.
Grow next · Cohesion
Your writing mostly flows, but the tense shifts between past and present in the opening paragraphs, and two possessive apostrophes are missing ("It's scent", "it's handle"). Reread each paragraph and settle on one tense, then check every "its" and "it's".
Yours"It's scent too strong, almost sour in my throat."
Try"Its scent was too strong, almost sour in my throat."
Monday · ~15 minutes · ready to teach Focus: holding tense and reference across a paragraph
I do
Put a short paragraph on the board that drifts from past to present. Read it aloud, mark every verb, and show how one slip breaks the reader's footing. Fix it to a single tense in front of the class.
We do
Work a second paragraph together. Ask: who or what does each "it", "they" or "the character" point back to? Repair one ambiguous reference and one "its / it's" as a class.
You do
Students reread one paragraph of their own SAC, settle on one tense, and check every "its" and "it's". Share one before-and-after with a partner.

Extending
Cohesion and punctuation control are the most common growth areas across this cohort. The same short lesson you teach on Monday could become a brief faculty focus, without anyone re-entering a single mark.
The whole point

Mark once. Teach on Monday.

You still do the hard part: the professional judgement. Writeiq makes that one judgement do the work of three, so your Sunday night gives your class a better Monday.

Multiply
Feedback, a Monday lesson, and school data from that one event.
This walkthrough uses a fictional teacher and a sample response created for demonstration. No real student information is shown. The criteria, evidence style, feedback and lesson structure mirror Writeiq's teacher-reviewed, IWAF-aligned assessment for Years 3 to 12. The teacher-confirmed final score is always the official judgement.
