Classroom language
Turns a note into shorter sentences a class can hear.
What this tool does
Classroom language runs the English coach and then prefixes the rewrite with “Class,”. The coach splits sentences, removes very, really, just, and actually, and breaks a sentence longer than 28 words in half. A missing full stop is noted. The score loses 15 for each note and 20 if the text is under 40 characters, with a floor of 20. The prefix is the only classroom-specific edit. It does not simplify vocabulary to a graded word list, and it does not check that the content is accurate for the age you teach. A fact you have not checked is still your fact after the rewrite. The lesson plan's second beat says the same thing: do not add an unchecked fact.
How to use it
Paste the note you were going to say. Read the prefixed version aloud. If the split landed in the middle of a term you need intact, put the sentence back together. If a filler word was doing real work, restore it. Then use the cleaned note as the open or the close of the lesson, not as a new explanation you have not taught.
Worked example
Paste “We will actually just look at one journal entry really slowly.” The coach drops actually, just, and really, and the classroom tool returns “Class, We will look at one journal entry slowly.” The journal entry is still the one you meant. No second example was added. Capitalise after the comma if you want “Class, we” rather than the mechanical prefix the rules path produces. The jobs link on this page searches HiringBuddy for published roles matching “teacher”. An empty list means nothing published matched. It is not a comment on the wider market. A signed-in candidate can save the attempt on their profile. Saving is not an application, and it does not show the attempt to an employer. Employers see people who apply to their own jobs.
Questions
- What does it add?
- The rules path adds the word Class at the front, then the shortened paragraph.
- Will it check the lesson is correct?
- No. It only shortens sentences. You check the content.
- How is this different from the English coach?
- The coach does not add the Class prefix. The shortening rules are the same.
