Finally, the green feedback boxes explain where the student has picked up marks in their essay.

Some of the ways we suggest using these essays are:

• Read through the essay with the toggle off and see if you can figure out where the student writing the essay picked up and lost marks. Then turn on the toggle and see how many you have spotted.

Some of the ways we suggest using these essays to teach are:

• print out the essays without the annotations for your class and get them to review them to see if they can spot any mistakes;
• turn on the examiner's comments and show where the student picked up/lost marks; 
• use the essays to show students examples of good grammar and vocab for the day of their exam.
