Ideas About Ongoing Writing Assignments

(9)

jbourgeois1@ebrschools.org

Google Classroom (make each student their own copy)

bell ringers /exit tickets

○ Weekly/Monthly

○ By 6/9 weeks grading period

● Post Bell Ringer/Exit Tickets as normal on board,

electronically or through Google Classroom

● Students then record the Question and then their

answer and each slide is dated

● Student submit their completed slide deck by the

deadline through Google Classroom

grading) to get a feel for their knowledge and understanding

Change the Format

1. Open a blank Google Slide and create the template to look as you want

2. File >>Download As >> JPEG or PNG 3. Open New Blank Slides presentation 4. Click on Background >> Image>>

Upload the JPEG/PNG file you just created

5. That background template is now not able to be edited -- but the students can type on it and add their writing to the template format.
