Important: Classes are 75 minutes long, so depending on how long your classes are and the pace your students can learn, it will change how many days your class will take to get through this full-year course. I recommend throwing in catch-up days or reward days throughout the semester.

How my classroom works:

In my classroom, we use Google Drive and Classroom to store and turn in assignments. Students can use Microsoft Word or Google Docs when working on their assignments and projects. The same rule applies to presentations; they can use PowerPoint or Google Slides.  As the teacher, it is up to you to decide how you will have your students receive and turn in their assignments, projects, etc.
