Creating Assignments in Google Classroom

1.  Go to the Classwork tab and click the + Create button, then select Assignment.

2. Fill in the Essentails

• Give the assignment a clear name (one that matches the assignment in PTP)

• Instructions: Give specific directions for your students to follow.

3. Click the icons under the instructions to add resources:

• Google Drive: Attach a template or reading material.

• Upload: Grab a file from your computer.

• Link/YouTube: Add external websites or videos.

• New: Create a fresh Doc, Slide, or Sheet right there.

If you attach a Google Doc, use the dropdown menu to select "Make a copy for each student." This gives every kid their own file without allowing students to edit the original.

4. Settings: Before you hit post, edit the details on the right:

• For: Choose which classes or specific students receive the work.

• Points: Set the grade value or select "Ungraded."

• Due Date: Pick a deadline and time.

• Topic: Organize the assignment under the weekly topic.

5.  Finalizing the Post:  You have three options for posting (blue button top right)

   1. Assign - Posts immediately

   2. Schedule- Pick a future date/time

   3. Save Draft- Keep it hidden until you're ready to post
