Create an Assignment

This page will help explain how to add assignments to Google Classroom.

1. Hover over the "+" button in the lower right hand corner of your classroom and choose create assignment.

2. It should open a dialogue box that looks like this:

3. Add the title of the assignment, the instructions for the assignment, and choose a due date, or no due date.

4. Below the due date, there are four buttons. This is what they all do:

• The Paper Clip - This will allow you to add a resource from either your computer or Google Drive. This could include something such as a worksheet you want the student to print and complete, or a paper that only needs to be referenced.
• The Drive Symbol (Looks like a recycling sign) - This will shortcut to adding a resource from your Google Drive. It will automatically set that resource's sharing setting so that the students can access the document, but not edit it.
• YouTube Icon - Add a YouTube video to the assignment. The students would watch it directly in Google Classroom instead of going to YouTube.
• Chain Link - Add a link to another website. This would allow you to attach an article or something like that.

5. From there, you can choose to trash the assignment, assign the assignment immediately, or if you choose the dropdown arrow next to "Assign" you can choose a date and time in the future. You might also have an option between the chain link and the trashcan to add the exact same assignment to other classes. If you only have one class though, that option won't be there.

6. This is what the assignment will then look like. You can add comments that the whole class can see. You can also see how many are done, not done, and when it is due.
