Google Classroom: Creating Assignments and Materials

Lesson 2: creating assignments and materials.

/en/google-classroom/getting-started-with-google-classroom/content/

Creating assignments and materials

Google Classroom gives you the ability to create and assign work for your students, all without having to print anything. Questions , essays , worksheets , and readings can all be distributed online and made easily available to your class. If you haven't created a class already, check out our Getting Started with Google Classroom lesson.

Watch the video below to learn more about creating assignments and materials in Google Classroom.

Creating an assignment

Whenever you want to create new assignments, questions, or material, you'll need to navigate to the Classwork tab.

clicking the Classwork tab

In this tab, you can create assignments and view all current and past assignments. To create an assignment, click the Create button, then select Assignment . You can also select Question if you'd like to pose a single question to your students, or Material if you simply want to post a reading, visual, or other supplementary material.

clicking the Assignment option in the Create menu

This will bring up the Assignment form. Google Classroom offers considerable flexibility and options when creating assignments.

Click the buttons in the interactive below to become familiar with the Assignment form.

assignment form interactive

This is where you'll type the title of the assignment you're creating.

Instructions

If you'd like to include instructions with your assignment, you can type them here.

Here, you can decide how many points an assignment is worth by typing the number in the form. You can also click the drop-down arrow to select Ungraded if you don't want to grade an assignment.

You can select a due date for an assignment by clicking this arrow and selecting a date from the calendar that appears. Students will have until then to submit their work.

In Google Classroom, you can sort your assignments and materials into topics. This menu allows you to select an existing topic or create a new one to place an assignment under.

Attachments

You can attach files from your computer , files from Google Drive , URLs , and YouTube videos to your assignments.

Google Classroom gives you the option of sending assignments to all students or a select number .

Once you're happy with the assignment you've created, click Assign . The drop-down menu also gives you the option to Schedule  an assignment if you'd like it to post it at a later date.

You can attach a rubric to help students know your expectations for the assignment and to give them feedback.

Once you've completed the form and clicked Assign , your students will receive an email notification letting them know about the assignment.

Google Classroom takes all of your assignments and automatically adds them to your Google Calendar. From the Classwork tab, you can click Google Calendar to pull this up and get a better overall view of the timeline for your assignments' due dates.

clicking Google Calendar

Using Google Docs with assignments

When creating an assignment, there may often be times when you want to attach a document from Google Docs. These can be helpful when providing lengthy instructions, study guides, and other material.

When attaching these types of files, you'll want to make sure to choose the correct setting for how your students can interact with it . After attaching one to an assignment, you'll find a drop-down menu with three options.

selecting the Students Can View File option

Let's take a look at when you might want to use each of these:

  • Students can view file : Use this option if the file is simply something you want your students to view but not make any changes to.
  • Students can edit file : This option can be helpful if you're providing a document you want your students to collaborate on or fill out collectively.
  • Make a copy for each student : If you're creating a worksheet or document that you want each student to complete individually, this option will create a separate copy of the same document for every student.

Using topics

On the Classwork tab, you can use  topics to sort and group your assignments and material. To create a topic, click the Create button, then select Topic .

clicking the Topic option in the Create menu

Topics can be helpful for organizing your content into the various units you teach throughout the year. You could also use it to separate your content by type , splitting it into homework, classwork, readings, and other topic areas.

showing a class with three topics

In our next lesson , we'll explore how to create quizzes and worksheets with Google Forms, further expanding how you can use Google Classroom with your students.

Here are 8 easy steps on how to get started.

how to set an assignment on google classroom

Open your Google Classroom page in your browser. Google Classroom will automatically open up to the Stream tab. Think of the Stream tab as the notification center, similar to the homepage on Facebook. Here, students will see announcements, classwork, questions, and resources.

When creating an assignment, you will want to complete the following steps:

  • Title your assignment
  • Write instructions
  • Select which subject this assignment is for
  • Create a point value (if the assignment is being graded)
  • Select a due date
  • Select or create a topic (This will make it easy for you and your students to filter through assignments throughout the school year. I’d suggest not skipping this step!)
  • Select which students should complete this assignment. (This is a great way to differentiate!)

how to set an assignment on google classroom

Select the Add button and select the source where you will be attaching your resource from. If your assignment is interactive, you’ll most likely select Google Drive.

If you have purchased your assignment through Teachers Pay Teachers you’ll want to make sure that you have made a copy of the resource to your Google Drive. You can do this by selecting File -> Make Copy within the resource or through a special link provided to you by the Teachers Pay Teachers author.

Don’t Forget: You must make your own copy of the resource and add it to your Google Drive account before posting to Google Classroom.

how to set an assignment on google classroom

Find the assignment you’d like students to complete and click the Add button.

how to set an assignment on google classroom

The next step is important. Select the dropdown menu to the right of

the assignment. Select the option “Make a copy for each student” from the menu list. If you do not select this option students will open the same Google resource and will be able to edit the same document. (Cue the raised hands or emails!) It can make for quite a mess.

Just as you would pass out a paper-based assignment in class to each student, be sure to select “Make a copy for each student” from the menu list.

Once selected, review your assignment, and press the Assign button.

Once you have assigned your assignment you will be redirected to the teacher page. From here you will see which students you’ve assigned work to and how many have completed the assignment. This page will help you keep track of your students’ work!

That’s it! Now you’re ready to assign your first assignment in Google Classroom!

Looking for digital resources that are aligned to standards and fun? These digital reading units for Google Classroom are easy to assign and easy for students to use. All of the slides (except the reading passages) are interactive!

How to Convert Google Slides to Powerpoint – Digital Learning Hack

  Have you ever downloaded a teaching resource to find that it was created in Google Slides, but you need to use it in PowerPoint?

Hi, I’m Jenn, CEO and owner of The Teacher Next Door!

I know that you strive to be an effective upper elementary teacher while maintaining a healthy work-life balance.

In order to do that, you need resources that are impactful, yet simple .

The problem is that most resources and curriculums out there are far from simple. The pages upon pages of daily lesson plans are just plain overwhelming .

At TTND, we believe teachers should be living their lives outside of the classroom, and not spend hours lesson planning and searching for resources.

We understand that now, more than ever, teachers need space to be themselves which is why we create and support teachers with timesaving tips and standards-aligned resources.

How To Add Assignments to Google Classroom

If you are a teacher who has been thrust into the world of online teaching, this post is for you! Here you’ll find detailed steps on how to add assignments to Google Classroom for your remote learning students + Google Apps freebies you can use now.

how to set an assignment on google classroom

What is Google Classroom?

Google Classroom is a wonderful free web service that allows teachers and students to share and streamline learning files.

Teachers use Google Classroom to share:

  • Video links
  • Reading Assignments
  • PDF documents
  • Google Apps activities for Slides, Forms, Docs, and Drawings

For schools temporarily closed due to COVID-19, many teachers and administrators now rely on Google Classroom for effective distance learning from home.

How Do I Use Google Apps in My Classroom?

Before I dig into the nitty-gritty details of how to add assignments to Google Classroom, I want to share some ideas for how to use the different Google Apps with your students.

Google Slides:

Google Slides resembles Microsoft Power Point with some of its features. It can be used to show presentations, but you can also use it for:

  • Drag and Drop Math activities like this FREE Place Value resource .

how to set an assignment on google classroom

  • Digital Task Cards for any subject
  • Flash cards to review math facts or vocabulary words
  • Digital Escape Room Challenges
  • ELA games and activities like this Sentence Types resource , which is also FREE!

how to set an assignment on google classroom

Google Forms:

Google Forms allows students to take quizzes or complete self-checking activities which works very well for self-guided learning from home.

Your students can also complete surveys, play review games, and complete other formative or summative assessments through Google Forms.

Google Docs:

This Google Apps resource seems a lot like Microsoft Word, but allows your students to:

  • Type essays
  • Complete constructed response activities
  • Edit paragraphs for interactive grammar practice
  • Attach screenshots and type responses to them
  • Work collaboratively with their peers to answer questions that you post to Google Classroom

There are so many more ideas and ways to use the Google Apps line-up as you plan lessons for remote learning.

Now let’s dive into how to set up your Google Classroom if you haven’t done so already!

Setting Up Google Classroom

Once you’ve read through the G Suite Education’s Terms of Use and how it applies to your school, you are ready to set up your Google Classroom.

You and your students will need an email address. It does NOT have to be gmail address, but gmail makes it easier to use Google Classroom because students and parents can receive notifications.

You also DO NOT have to have G Suite for Education in order to set up and use Google Classroom, but again, having one does help

Here’s a video showing you how to set up your first class on Google Classroom:

Now that you have everything set-up, let’s have adding assignments to your Google Classroom!

How Do I Add Assignments to My Google Classroom?

The first thing I recommend before adding assignments to your Google Classroom is to write out your lesson plans the same way you would in a traditional classroom setting.

Forming a plan BEFORE you start adding files to Google will cut down on frustration of having to add, delete, and constantly update your Google links.

Secondly, it really helps to have your files already saved in your Google Drive or on a thumb drive where you can easily access them.

This prevents you from having to go on a wild-goose chase for all the assignments you want students to complete.

With those tips in mind, here’s a step-by-step video showing you how to add assignments to your Google Classroom:

Once you load your assignments, be sure to click “ASSIGN” in the upper right-hand corner of your classroom dashboard.

You will know the assignment is ready for students when the gray tab changes to a bright color.

This video is also listed for FREE in my TpT store where you can save it and refer back to it later. You can see it on TpT HERE .

Hopefully the steps outlined in the video help you get the ball rolling on using Google Classroom.

Feel free to leave any questions you may have in the comments below.

For all my Google Classroom experts, I also invite you to share additional tips in the comments section!

Common Questions About Google Classroom

As you navigate Google Classroom for your distance learning set-up, here are common things to keep in mind:

Can parents see their child’s Google Classroom?

YES! If they have a gmail account, you can invite them to see their child’s Weekly Report, which will show what assignments from Google Classroom their child has or has not completed.

Is Google Classroom FREE?

Absolutely! As I mentioned earlier, you can sign up through G Suite for Education or through your personal gmail account.

Will students see their grade when they finish my Google Classroom Assignments?

This is definitely possible through Google Forms when you assign assessments for students to complete. The settings allow you to post a grade immediately when students click “SUBMIT.”

I purchased a task card set / printable PDF / etc. from Teachers Pay Teachers. Can I add a link to it in my Google Classroom?

Just as I explained in the video, you will FIRST want to check the Terms of Use for that resource or contact the creator directly for permission.

THEN you can add it to an assignment on your Google Classroom. Just be mindful that it will not convert to an interactive resource. It will remain in its original form, so you will need to include directions for how students can complete the printable resource.

More Remote Learning Resources

In addition to the Google Slides freebies above, I have an entire list of activities designed for Google Classroom that you can grab HERE .

Plus, you can click on any of these blog posts for more content geared toward remote learning:

A Word of Encouragement For You

I know that all this can seem overwhelming. If you are new to using technology for learning, give yourself grace.

You can do this! Trust me, everyone has to start at the beginning and NO ONE knows every single thing there is to know.

Stay encouraged! You are going to get through this and one day will look back on this experience with so many pride and joy that you made it through.

Plus, the tips and tricks you learn about using Google Classroom, remote learning resources, and other technology tools will be powerful additions in your teaching tool belt once a new school year begins.

As I always say, the butterfly is a symbol of how beautiful the process of change can be!

Happy “Google Classroom” Teaching 🦋

Go ahead and open Google Classroom and create your class. Give your classes names like “Period 1” or “Morning ELA” so you can quickly identify the class you want.

how-to-create-an-assignment-in-google-classroom-1

1) Your class’s unique code is identified here. You’ll need that code when adding students to your class. You can add students directly or give the code to students, and they can join the class.

Click Classwork .

6) IMPORTANT : On the dropdown menu, choose Make a copy for each student .

You want to make sure each student receives their own copy of the file, so your original file won’t be shared and changed when they begin to interact with it! Ultimately, you want students to make changes on their own individual copies.

When submitting assignments to Google Classroom on mobile, you'll also need to make sure you have the iPhone or Android app installed. You can search and download Google Classroom through the app store on your phone.

how to set an assignment on google classroom

Over the ten years, there has been a variety of research to support learner groups and learner collaboration for class assignments. Early online learning environments forced educators to become creative in assigning and collecting collaborative work; however, current systems offer more options. The many recent updates to Google Classroom expanded the possibilities for learners and educators regarding grouping assignments. Assigning lessons to groups of learners in Classroom involves only a few easy steps and opens up possibilities that were not formerly available for educators and learners.

Step 1: Create Group Documents

The first step in allocating group work in Classroom is to make an assignment document and make a copy for every group. Add the group name to the end of the file name for organization purposes. Save assignment documents in Drive, so they can be located easily. Saving documents in the Classroom folder is the way to go.

Step 2: Create Group Assignment Topic

On the Classwork tab, select the Make button and choose Topic. Give the topic a name relative to the group project.

Step 3: Select Learners

Select the Make button and choose the assignment. In the Assignment dialogue box, click the learner dropdown menu, uncheck “all learners,” and choose the learners who will be in the first group. This step will be repeated later for more groups.

Step 4: Create Assignment

In the Assignment dialogue section, give the assignment an appropriate title, including the group name and/or number, and provide instructions. Select the Topic for the group project. Next, upload assignment documents for the first group, and be sure “Learners Can Edit” is chosen as the document option in lieu of making a copy for each learner. Don’t post the assignment yet; save as a draft until after all groups are made.

Step 5: Recycle Assignment for More Groups

Using the “Reuse Post,” feature helps educators avoid the need to retype info for each group assignment. First, click the Make button and select Reuse Post. The Reuse Post dialogue box will appear. Choose the post to be duplicated and click Reuse. Edit, the assignment for each group. Ensure that the group members are modified using the learner dropdown menu and that the group number is modified in the title and instructions. Remember to remove the assignment documents for the group before and upload the documents needed for the new group. Save group assignments as drafts.

Step 6: Post Your Group Assignments

Once all group assignment drafts are complete, the final step is to post the assignments so learners can begin working. Drafts of group assignments will be shown under the group topic made in Step 1. Click the triple dot menu and choose the Edit option. The Assignment dialogue box will appear for the assignment to be posted. Repeat this step for each group .
