...

One way of doing this is to add aa 'Moodle Assignment' activity to your module page. Grades for this will automatically be included in the Gradebook. It can be useful, e.g., for returning grades and feedback for an offline assignment such as a presentation or lab work.  See creating a Moodle assignment.

OR, don't create a new assignment, just add a column to the Gradebook. Creating a column (it's called a grade item) in the 'Grader Report' allows you to enter grades and make them visible to the students (or not, e.g., in the case of second marking) as appropriate.
