Lesson prep made easy

Have you had a crack at the Tasks creation tool in Writer’s Toolbox?  An unsung hero when it comes to lesson planning, Task Builder helps you create scaffolded, visually-compelling lessons with clear instructions and differentiated checklists.  

Task Builder steps you through the planning process—the choice is yours: set year level, add PDF resources, select planning tools, choose a quirky image to get student creativity flowing, require keywords, checklists, paragraph styles, and more.   

Once you’ve set up a task, the benefits start to kick in.  Check in on where students are at and review their final submissions, all in the one place.  Click share to allow other teachers to use your tasks and get them to send their tasks back in return.  Sharing the planning load?  Gold.
