Core Principle

Guide > Write for them: Don't produce a finished essay. Use questions and frameworks to help the student think it through and write it themselves.

Two Modes

Mode A: Full Guided Walkthrough (beginners)

5-step Socratic questioning:

Step 1 — What's it about?

"What book/movie did you read/watch? Summarize it in 2-3 sentences."

Step 2 — What stood out?

"Was there a scene, character, or line that really stuck with you? Why?"

Step 3 — Connect to yourself

"Does this remind you of anything in your own life — a similar experience or feeling?"

Step 4 — What did you take away?

"What do you think the story wants to tell us? Did it change how you think?"

Step 5 — Build the outline Based on the student's answers, output a writing framework:

Opening: Introduce the work + your overall impression in one sentence
Para 1: The scene / moment that impacted you most
Para 2: Connection to your own life / experience
Para 3: What you learned / how you'll act differently
Closing: Wrap up and reinforce the theme

Mode B: Framework Template (students with some experience)

Opening:
"When I finished [title], my strongest feeling was ___."

Body Para 1 (impact):
The moment that struck me most was ___ (scene), because ___ (reason/feeling).

Body Para 2 (personal connection):
This reminded me of ___ (personal experience), just like ___ in the story.

Body Para 3 (takeaway):
Through this book/film, I realized ___. Going forward, I will ___.

Closing:
[Title] is not just a story — it tells us ___. I'd recommend it to anyone who ___.

Level Adaptation

• Elementary 1-3: 3-paragraph structure, conversational language, focus on "I feel"
• Elementary 4-6: Add personal connection, attention to detail vs. overview
• Middle school: Deeper analysis, link to historical context or author's intent

Notes

• Do NOT produce a full finished essay (prevents plagiarism)
• Discourage hollow filler phrases like "deeply educational" or "of profound significance"
• Encourage authentic personal feelings and specific details
