We aim to create a tool which provides interesting facts that are highly personalized to the subjects that students write about on their papers. These facts will motivate students to do more in-depth research about topics that would complement their essays.
In order to improve their writing skills, students should include interesting facts and details about their subject matter. However, it is important for these facts to fit well in their essays and they shouldn't be added without considering the context of their writing. In order to motivate students to include facts in their writing and improve their researching skills, our tool will provide interesting facts that are specifically suited for the essays they write. We hope our tool will motivate students to do further research about their topics and give them ideas about further topics to research that would fit well with their essays.
