Grading Writing tasks
As soon as your students have begun submitting their Writing assignments, you can start marking/grading them.
This is School has a suite of handy tools and shortcuts to make grading and giving feedback much simpler. Just follow these steps:
2. Click on the class whose work you'd like to grade and click View next to the relevant assignment.
3. Click the Grade button next to a student's work to get started.
4. On the Grading page you'll see:
- The student's written work
- A Comments panel
- Sliders for the criteria of your chosen mark scheme
- An automatically calculated overall score and percentage
5. Highlight any portion of the text and click the Add Comment icon to give feedback or a correction. You can also optionally classify an error as spelling, grammar or vocab-related.
6. When you've finished adding comments, rate the response by adjusting the sliders and leave some general feedback.
7. Click Submit to send the marked-up text, plus comments and score to your student for them to review.
