Thank you for your support of my business, I truly appreciate it!!

This is a website design lesson wrapped around Simple Machines. I wanted my students to get the feel of WEB DESIGN without having to pay hosting fees...so, we used PowerPoint. I went through the process of setting up a PP as the website. We talk about links, images, web directory, etc. but we did it for FREE in PowerPoint. Once you activate the slideshow, it "feels" like a website. The kids loved it!

It is written for Simple Machines, but it could easily be rewritten for any topic in any class!

The directions for PowerPoint are on pages 3-4.

If you are looking for a way to organize your classroom and support your students with visual schedules, then this resource is for you! This Visual Schedule and Classroom Organization Set will help you organize your task boxes, job board, and classroom schedule. You can also have students use the individual board visual schedule to set their own personal visual schedules!

Visual schedules are a tool used for students with exceptionalities, but particularly for those with autism, to help transition between activities and places, follow a routine, know what to expect in their day, and develop new skills.  The schedule allows a sequence of pictures and words to be arranged in order so that students can set and follow a daily schedule, as well as mark off completed tasks.  The schedule can also be used to break large tasks or events down into smaller steps.  Having a visual schedule can be a help to reduce challenging behaviour.

Connecting your whole class schedule, with board sized individual schedules, and personal visual schedules is easy with the resources you will find in this bundle. You can also organize the task boxes in your independent work stations and use the included task strips for students to work through their tasks for the day.

Thank you for your support of my business, I truly appreciate it!!

This project is great for your fashion design students in your entry level class. I usually give my students 10 class days to complete whatever choice they would like to work on from the list. Feel free to give your students whatever timeline fits your lesson plan. I like giving the students choices in case there are students who would like to sketch instead of sewing. No matter what project they choose they are still required to type a paper that discusses the elements and principles of design. Each project has a different set of elements and principles of design that are required for the paper since sometimes it is easier to include certain ones in sewing projects versus sketches.

Prior Knowledge needed:

This project assumes that your class has covered the elements and principles of design but if you have not then feel free to omit that part of the project.

This download includes a rubric as well.

Thank you for your interest in my product!

• A total of 27 Google Slides
• 12 self-grading editable Google Forms with 275 questions

This resource was designed to help students practice the important life skill of filling out forms. This Unit is the most advanced out of the 4 Units covering more advanced forms that high level students may access during adult life. This unit involves longer forms with more details. Some prompts ask students to pull information and details off of licenses, passports and credit cards.

Forms Included:

• Passport Application (Multiple Pages)

• U.S. Customs Travel Declaration

• W-9 Form

• Car Rental Agreement

• Registration Application

From working with my own students, I realized many were unable to identify key form vocabulary such as (gender, county, & social security number). Many were also unable to accurately plug in their personal information or copy provided information onto a form often mixing up key information such as cities & counties or phone number & social security numbers.

This product will help your students to become more independent, confident and successful out in the community.
