Our Assign Activities page is designed to help you find the perfect writing activities for your students. Learn how to navigate the Assign Activities page below.

In the Assign Activities tab, you can find different pathways to assign activities to your classes. There are 4 cards that will narrow down the activities that you see.

If you click on the Assess student writing with a diagnostic card, you'll see the list of diagnostics that Quill offers, including our General Starter, General Intermediate, General Advanced, ELL Starter, ELL Intermediate, and ELL Advanced Diagnostics, Furthermore, you'll see our Pre-AP Writing Surveys, AP Writing Surveys, and our SpringBoard Writing Skills Survey. Learn more about our diagnostics here.

We recommend starting with a Baseline Diagnostic (Pre) at a level that is appropriate for your students. You'll be able to preview and assign both a Baseline Diagnostic (Pre) and Growth Diagnostic (Post), but please note that a Growth Diagnostic (Post) is a diagnostic that is assigned only after a student has completed the corresponding Baseline Diagnostic (Pre). For this reason, they will be locked until you have assigned students the corresponding Baseline Diagnostic (Pre).

If you want to create and assign an activity pack of activities that you have chosen, you can peruse Quill's entire activity library and create your own activity pack.

Within the activity library, you're able to see all of Quill's 800+ activities, and in our activity library, you can use the filters on the left side of the page to filter the activities that you see based on the type of activity, Grade Level Range, Readability Level, CCSS Grade Level, as well as ELL activities, Concepts, Topics, and our Content Partners (College Board, Core Knowledge, and Word Generation).

To filter the activities that you see, check the box next to any filter, and to assign any activities, check the boxes to the left of the activities' names and click the Assign button in the upper right corner.
