Then go through each student's writing sample and use the checklist. This will give you valuable information about which topics the whole class may need more instruction on (perhaps many students are struggling with commas) and it will provide information about which students in particular may need some targeted writing intervention. If you use the checklist throughout the year, it can show student growth and improvement.
