It is has been a HUGE benefit to our speaking and listening skill

Two Posters with quick guide links to useful keyboard shortcuts in Google Docs. I noticed around September with my kiddos that they didn't always have experience using the many quick keys in Docs. In an effort to help my kids learn their Chromebooks and keyboard functions, I infused the skills into my assignments. Once I introduced the skills I wanted to have an 'easy on the eyes' version to post in my classroom. These two posters include the most common commands students may need for general K

Why “this” activity? I recently noticed in my 7th & 8th graders summary writing, they struggle to recognize and eliminate redundant phrases. Rather than drill and kill with redundancy examples, I was hoping to find something they might enjoy while linking to a cultural reference.
