All you need to do is to tick the appropriate box as to whether they met their target and highlight or underline any of the pre-populated targets appropriate for that task or response. You can easily mark a class set of responses in 10 to 20 minutes and students quickly receive appropriate targets/feedback. I use these every other lesson in the run up to mocks or exam season and they are a game changer. Easily adaptable for your own targets, these low stakes templates will reduce your workload.
