Students can upload their Word documents as PDFS and the teacher can grade them and comment inline, highlight ,etc. This has been around since Moodle 2.5 - see Annotating PDFs in the documentation. (Alternatively they can just type their essay directly into Moodle and the teacher can edit it inline from Moodle's text editor.)
