Before students begin
- Open the student task in Student View and test the exact sign-in, link, file, or submission path students will use.
- Prepare only the listed existing materials; do not require a personal account or a new unlisted product.
- Keep the current student page available as the accessible and absence route.
Lesson flow
- 1. Launch: Put the purpose in front of students: Students will use Pop Art choices to make a readable paper name tag.
- 2. Model: Use one current example, tool, or teacher resource before students begin visual style and audience.
- 3. Guide: Complete the first decision or step together; conference before students commit to a direction.
- 4. Build: Students complete the existing Canvas task. Do not add a second product or change the current rubric.
- 5. Check + next step: Verify this evidence before students leave: Pop-Art name-tag photo and sentence-starter reflection.
Scaffolds and teacher decisions
Keep the student lesson's bilingual tabs, word bank, models, and current support route in view while students work. Reduce the number of examples or provide a partially completed planning frame before reducing the evidence. If a student needs an alternate format, preserve the same named evidence and use the current rubric or teacher judgment rather than adding a hidden requirement.
Close the loop
Use the current Canvas submission for grading. Record the specific misconception, access issue, or revision need you observed; use it to choose the next lesson's launch rather than creating a duplicate exit assignment.
