Here’s a little-known fact about me - I absolutely HATED writing when I was in school. But surprise surprise, I am doing all the writing on my blog and social media now. Funny how life turned out. 😂😂😂
And it’s the turn of my boys now… because just how on earth does one teach essay writing, especially to secondary school kids??? All the different types of essay questions from argumentative, narrative, descriptive to even discursive (I had to google that last one), I struggle to even come up with topic-related essay ideas, let alone guide them on how to write a good essay!
So thank goodness for Prune.sg, which is an AI-powered essay writing platform for secondary school students. With Prune, both Ash & Ayd get guided practice and develop their ability to tackle a range of composition types. First, Prune helps them to analyse composition questions with its AI-powered brainstorming tools to avoid going off-topic. Then it helps them to develop creative ideas quickly to maximise writing time during exams. Finally - and that’s the most helpful tool for me as a parent - Prune helps to mark the essay too!!! They get immediate feedback on grammar, vocabulary, and style when they submit their compositions. Wah solid, I like.
You can zoom in on the photo to see Ash’s attempt at one of the essay questions. Yes, I could have just used a photo of Ash & Ayd staring aimlessly at a screen, which will be more IG-worthy. LOL. But I really wanted to show you that Ash really attempted to write an essay based on that and the result was he loved it. He liked how Prune broke down the various parts of the essay into different points by guiding him write down his views in a systematic manner, which really simplified the thought process.
There are tons of online learning tools and portals for pre-school and primary school kids these days but for secondary school kids? Not so many. Which is why I think Prune is truly a fantastic helpline for this group of teens. But don’t take my word for it - sign up and try it out for FREE for one whole month at www.prune.sg/register with my code: CMPRUNEL. No strings attached. 😊
