lisa doodle
lisa doodle is a daily writing activity for students (and others) to grow as writers in a fun and positive space.
Every day, we publish a new prompt - narrative, persuasive or explanatory.
Students write a response and submit it to lisa for quick feedback in plain English.
Read on to understand how lisa doodle works.
doodle traffic lights
lisa provides 3 brief sets of feedback to students, the first of which are the doodle traffic lights. Here's some information about what they mean.
responses are graded against four conventions - content, language, structure and accuracy. NZ teachers will recognise these from the NZ CAA.
the traffic lights have been calibrated from national (NZ) test data for year 10 students.
-
blue indicates writing that's above the expected standard.
-
green indicates writing at the expected standard.
-
orange indicates writing that's approximately a year below the expected standard.
-
red indicates writing that's two or more years below the expected standard.

coins
We've deliberately avoided providing a 'score' that relates to pass or fail. This includes not giving grades that relate to a year level.
The 'coins' score is a loose metric to encourage students to write again, and improve their score.
The score is based on lisa's 4 conventions (ideas, organisation, variety and accuracy) and students ability to write for the purpose and audience of the prompt.
For now, the score may vary, eg if 2 students submit exactly the same text, they may get a different score. This reflects the current variability of AI, which we're working to reduce.
privacy

student responses are not used by commercial AI companies to train their LLM's
lisa only shares users' responses for grading and cloud storage.
