Information
Brainstorm
Think about how you described your virtual classroom in your lesson plan during lesson one. Think about what you want it to look like. The design of your virtual classroom is up to you.
Keep in mind:

I created a virtual classroom as an example for this lesson:

Slide 1: Introductory Slide
In your introductory slide:
- Create a welcoming learning environment
- Address learning objectives
- Discuss instructional activity
Slide 2-3: Instructional Activity
In your Instructional Activity slides:
- Engage students in your virtual classroom through interactive slides
I created a link to the slide with the instructional activity and slide with the assessment
- State clear directions
I stated the directions clearly on the white board so you know what you're working on in this lesson
- Easy to follow
I discussed what the students will be working on and where to find both assignments
Slide 3: Instructional Activity
In this instructional activity slide,
Students will demonstrate that they have made sure to include the above information in order to create their virtual classroom.
This can be a valuable format for you to have students answer questions in order to demonstrate their interaction with instructional media
Slide 4: Assessment
On your Assessment slide make sure you
- Explain the directions clearly
- Discuss student's expectations
- Remind student's to share Google slides with you or how they should submit the assessment
Task
Share your virtual classroom that aligns with your lesson plan
