# data[].attributes.body
Once students have completed writing their final draft, they will analyze 3 student exemplars (High, Medium, and Low). Student exemplars can be located on the Smarter Annotated Response Tool. Simply input what grade level you are looking for and you will have 2 performance tasks to choose from. Students will use a rubric to help them rate each exemplar, then they will rate their own essay. Based on their rating from the rubric, they will have an opportunity to "Bump-Up" up their writing to a High.
