An essay writer application could allow children around the [[wikipedia:seventh grade|seventh grade]] to learn to write better essays by being able to select some sentences from a database of sentences for a given topic. Psychological effects are that the children will experience success in essay writing because of the higher quality of the work and that the children will pay more attention to the (already correct) text because they can view it as their own work. |
|||
The application can also keep track of sentences that are compatible or incompatible so that the essay writing application can already make a decision about the quality of thought that has gone into essay writing. Some sentences could also offer spelling mistakes or other mistakes so that the children would still sometimes be able to make mistakes when selecting sentences. |

== Availability of sentences == |
|||
Sentences could be made available like a technology tree in a [[wikipedia:construction and management simulation|construction and management simulation]], making some groups of sentences only available after a certain quality of writing had been established or certain groups of sentences or sub-topics had been selected. The intended psychological effect is to motivate and to teach continual refinement of text, including the removal of obsolete sentences. |
|||
== Database == |
|||
A database could initially be filled with sentences from selected Wikipedia articles, including sentences from similar articles or topics and variants of sentences which may not be appropriate for the essay. |
|||
== Math trainer == |
|||
One could try to implement a math trainer where pupils had to pick transformations of an equation or aspects of transforming operations from a database of possible ideas (most of them wrong, of course), which would allow the math trainer application to make a very thorough analysis of the transformations that had been applied appropriately and correctly. |
