I am a chemistry teacher, I spend lots of time making resources and decided to share them here on TES. Most are free or have free sample versions, but the best and most detailed ones that I'm particular proud of I sell for around £2-£5.

I spend hours and hours of time marking, and a lot of the time it's writing similar (if not the same) comments. For example.. -Please use capital letters at the start of sentences. -Do the highlighted tasks on the level ladder. -Please write in FULL sentences. -Stick in your graph. The list goes on... In order to save time and ink I thought I'd make a mail merge to mark the student's work for me! I've trialled this with 4 different classes and found it EXTREMELY useful! It has cut my marking time in at least half! I read the student's work, pick the comments that apply (or type new comments), print the comments on green paper ( our marking policy says marking must be in green ), get the students to stick it in and improve their work! BOOM! I've written a guide on how to use the resource and included some examples of it being used. This is the first time I've made and shared a resource like this, and it's safe to say it is definitely not perfect, I'm not an ICT expert and I expect ICT teachers will be able to improve this resource no end. I use it for science lessons but I think it should be easy to adapt for most subjects, especially those doing extended writing with clear criteria. I've found it quite useful for marking the 6 mark exam extended writing questions. I've added a few different sets of comments including graph work, descriptive work for science, and the science APP level descriptors So hopefully it'll be useful for someone other than just myself, please do send me feedback if you use this resource!
