Example:
I created a handout for an award to give students after completing their homework. I would use this as a motivator for students to finish their expected work. I would sign and date the award for them to keep and share with their families.
To create a handout, open PowerPoint and change the slide size (in design) to letter paper (8.5x11in). Then add text with the preferred font and pictures. Export the document as a PDF.
