  • Post onto google classroom expectations for time management pamphlet: 1 quote about time management, 5 tips for someone who needs help managing their time, 1 other item they would like to include. (Note: This is just what I wanted for the content. The rubric has all of the neatness, turned in on time, etc.)
  • Show everyone how to sign up for a Canva account (I wait till now to do this, so they are not all starting the project wrong) 
  • On the projector, I show them where to go to get the correct template and have them each pick their design. 
  • After they each pick their design, I tell them to create a google document with all of the required items for the pamphlet for homework.
  • On the second day, the students just focus on plugging in their information onto the Canva template. They then save these as a pdf and turn into google classroom.
