4. Select the Students tab at the top of the page to bring up individual student activity data.
   If a student has not yet completed their writing response, then a dash will be shown under the activities. 

5. After clicking “Score Now”, you can grade and share comments with the student by entering them in the Add note for student section.

   • Select Return for Revision to give the student the opportunity to submit the writing response again.

   • Or click Submit to complete grading.
