Depending on the assignment/purpose of assignment...
Sometimes I draw a slash or X through the item number of
incorrect responses, sometimes I write the correct answer next to
the incorrect answer, and sometimes I write a question/prompt to
lead them to the correct answer. I don't usually use red ink--I
remember too many bleeding papers from when I was in school. I
use a variety of bright colors--burgundy, green, turquoise, hot
pink, purple, orange. I also still put stickers on exceptionally
well done work. It's funny to see 16-18 year olds so happy to
receive a sticker!
