Lesson Activity -- How to Guide

1.6. Lesson Grade Essays Tab

If the lesson contains an essay question, the Grade Essays tab will quickly allow you to see the essay responses submitted, and allow you to grade those essays easily....

If the Lesson module you are using contains essay questions, then you will see the number of essays that need to be graded by clicking on the Tab. 

Once the link opens, you will see the names of the students who have submitted essay for grading.  You can download the essays for grading at another time, but if you do so, you will have to enter the point scores directly into the gradebook.

If you click on the Essay link (circled in Red above), you will be able to read the student's response, provide feedback in the Comment Area, and select a point value for the essay.
