Step 1: Log in to Writable from HMH Ed
First, log into Ed.
From the Dashboard, click 'Writable' to launch into the Writable app in a new window.
Highly Recommended - Be sure to link your Google or Microsoft account when prompted. This will help make your login process easier and ensure you do not have multiple Writable accounts.
Step 2: Write
Start your Writable assignment by writing your response to a prompt. From your Writable dashboard, click the assignment to open it.
Then, click anywhere in the 'Read & Write' section.
You will be able to view your prompt, rubric, and reading (if applicable). If your assignment includes a reading, click 'Check & Submit' on the right of the screen to expand the rubric. Click 'Back to Reading' on the left to expand the reading again.
Step 3: Review (Optional)
Reviewing your own writing or providing anonymous feedback to your peers is an important part of becoming a better writer. If your teacher has assigned a peer or self-review you'll be tasked to review and leave feedback on the writing.
Click the 'Review' section on the assignment dashboard to begin reviewing. You can rate the writing using the rubric on the left. Reviewers can also highlight and leave comments.
Step 4. Revise
When you receive peer or teacher reviews, you will also receive comments alongside those reviews to help you improve your writing. Review this feedback to make improvements and submit your revisions for further feedback.
To view your feedback, click on the assignment to open it.
Ratings and comments will be shown on the rubric to the right of the writing. Click 'Revise Now' above the writing, or 'Revise' beneath the rubric to begin making changes to the writing.
Be sure to submit your revision to get more feedback from your teachers or peers.
