Turning in an assignment

  1. Open the assignment in Classwork and read the instructions
  2. If the teacher attached a Doc marked “You can edit”, open it — it is your own copy
  3. Or click “+ Add or create” to attach a file from Drive or your computer
  4. When you are done, click “Turn in” (or “Mark as done”)
  5. Changed your mind? “Unsubmit” lets you fix it before the due date

Private comments

Each assignment has “Private comments” that only you and the teacher see. Use them to ask a question or explain why something is late.

Tip

💡 Check the To-do list every afternoon. “Missing” means the due date passed and it wasn’t turned in — talk to your teacher right away.

✏️ Practice: your turn

  1. Open Google Classroom and find your To-do list
  2. Open one assignment and read the instructions
  3. Practice attaching a file from Drive (without turning in, if it isn’t ready)
  4. Write a private comment to a teacher asking a real question
