Teaching with Writelike

Checkpoints are the Writelike lesson equivalent of a summative task. Most Writelike lessons will have several small writing tasks, but only one checkpoint piece.

When you review a checkpoint piece, you can:

• Read the student's response to the reflection prompt.
• Assign a traffic light grade.
• Write a moderator comment.

Viewing checkpoint pieces

You can find all submitted checkpoint pieces submitted by a class in the Grades tab.

Click on any student with a submitted checkpoint response to open it and give feedback.

Giving feedback

When you open a checkpoint piece, you will be able to see:

• Source snippet
• Student response and any highlighting
• Reflection prompt response (if enabled)

You can leave a moderator comment and assign a traffic light grade. There are three traffic light indicators:

• Good—this matches the pattern
• Great—this matches the pattern, and I enjoyed it!
• Not sure this works—doesn't match the pattern
