Create a set of writing activities from your lesson material

The repeated work is more than writing a prompt

Each writing lesson needs a task, instructions, completion requirements, and a feedback focus. Then you copy everything into the course, arrange submissions, and repeat the setup. Across a series of lessons, that preparation becomes hours of duplicated work.

It is also easy for feedback to drift away from the teaching objective. An activity about clear explanations can become a general grammar correction task if the evaluator has no context.

Bulk Create lets you prepare that practice together. The example set moves from a short message to an explanation, a sentence rewrite, and an opinion. Seeing the activities in one place makes both the workload and the progression easier to manage.

Give the shared context once

Provide the course or reference material, then a generation instruction describing the practice you need. Choose Assignment Feedback, the response type, feedback release, attempts, and draft count before generating.

For this set, the shared context covers clear sentences, simple explanations, and ambiguous references. The instruction asks for everyday situations and feedback on each task’s objective. You make those decisions once rather than repeating them in four separate activities.

Keep the fields distinct. Student instructions explain the task. Completion requirements specify what must be included. Feedback focus names the priority. Private evaluator context explains the teaching intention without adding more instructions for the learner.

Review the practice across the whole set

The first draft asks for a 50-75 word message about a change to a weekend plan. The next asks for a simple explanation of a library process. A sentence rewrite then targets unclear references, before a 200-300 word opinion brings the clarity skills together.

View the titles and tasks together before publishing. Check whether the progression makes sense, whether two activities repeat the same work, and whether the supplied material is enough to complete each task.

Expand an activity to read the learner-facing content and private evaluator context separately. In the expanded example at the top of this article, “Make your point clearly” asks for an opinion, two reasons, and a concrete example. Its feedback focus stays on clarity rather than correcting every minor error.

Revise the part that needs attention

Open Edit to change an activity’s instructions, material, completion requirements, feedback focus, or private evaluator context. A small correction does not require generating the entire set again.

For the short-message draft, add that the learner must say what changed, explain why, and suggest a next step. For the ambiguity exercise, check that each supplied sentence has a clear intended meaning. These small decisions make a draft easier to teach with.

For a broader change, select the affected drafts and give a follow-up instruction: “Keep these as short paragraph tasks. Use workplace situations and preserve the clarity objective.” Regenerate selected creates replacements using the original context and current draft content.

Read the revised instructions and criteria before publishing. Bulk creation reduces repeated preparation; the teacher still decides whether the practice is clear and worth doing.

Publish, then choose how students receive it

Use Publish selected when the reviewed drafts are ready. The set remains an overview, with each activity individually editable and shareable. Edits to published content stay in draft until you publish them.

Assign gives an activity to an enrolled class or an individual student, with an optional due date. Sharing provides a guest link, while Copy iframe puts the activity beneath a lesson. Copy all iframe codes helps when placing several activities in their corresponding lessons.

Guest delivery returns feedback immediately and does not require a learner account. Use assigned students when you need to hold a report for teacher review before releasing it.

Release the practice after the relevant lesson

A sequence adds order and release dates for enrolled students. Select the published activities, arrange them, choose a class or selected students, and release them all at once, daily, or on specific dates and times.

The example below supports an evening writing class. Students receive the short-message task after Monday’s lesson, the explanation on Wednesday, and the opinion on Friday. The practice arrives when the relevant lesson is fresh.

Choose the time zone as well as the dates. This schedule controls assigned activities in the student portal. A guest link or iframe shared separately is not held back by those assignment dates.

The result is a prepared set of practice and feedback that supports the course. You can inspect it at a glance, revise individual tasks, and distribute them through the route that suits your learners.
