Pick your class and find today's lesson 🐝
Each class has a page for every school day: today's target, the plan, your PLTW work, and what to do if you were absent.

How this class works 🐝
Watch the quick guide, then follow these steps. Every lesson works the same way. Once you've got the rhythm, you always know what to do and where to look.
Every lesson, in five steps
- 1Start on your class pageClass page
Open today's lesson. Read Today's target and the Big idea, see what's Due today, and follow the day's Steps: a debate, background, a lab, or analysis.
- 2Do the curricular work in PLTWmyPLTW
Go into myPLTW through Clever and do the day's activity there. This is where the project work gets done. Doing it here is not the same as turning it in.
- 3Finish what's dueClass page
Complete the day's artifact: an exit ticket, a CER, a data table, or your tracker. Your class page tells you exactly what that is.
- 4Use the route shownThis site, or in person
Turn it in on this site, or hand it to Mr. Mendoza in class. Both count. Your file is stored in the district OneDrive automatically, and your report-card grade shows up in Schoology later. You never turn it in on the class site.
- 5Stuck or absent? You're coveredClass page
Every lesson has a self-help Explainer if you're confused and a make-up plan if you missed class: so nobody falls behind.
It all adds up: each lesson's evidence and your tracker build toward your end-of-course WebXam, the Ohio end-of-course exam for this course.
Where to find what
This class web page
Your guide: every day's target, big idea, steps, what's due, resources, and absent make-up. Start here every time.
PLTW
The curriculum itself: lessons, activities, your online evidence, and your tracker. This is where you do the work.
Schoology
Where your report-card grade appears. You read it. You never turn work in here. Reached through Clever.
Clever
The single door to your district logins: Microsoft, Schoology, and PLTW.

Lab Safety
Two steps clear you for the bench: sign the safety contract with a parent or guardian, and pass the safety test. Rules, PPE, SDS, and emergency steps are all in one place.

See what to file Submission Zone
Drop your special project in the OneDrive folder, or hand it to Mr. Mendoza in class. Both count. Sign in with your Microsoft (district) account, not a personal one. Nothing is turned in on Schoology: that is where the report-card grade shows up later.
Name the file exactly like this, with two underscores between the name and the title:
Lastname_Firstname__Assignment Title.pdfTwo underscores between the name and the title. Do not put your student ID in the file name: your district sign-in already tells me it is you. A file named any other way is not lost. It waits in a review folder until it is sorted by hand, so it is graded later.
Your receipt. Your own upload panel says Uploaded, with a green check beside the file name. That is your receipt. Screenshot it if you want a record of your own. Do not wait for the file to appear in a list. You should not be able to see anyone else's work in there. If you can see other students' files, stop and tell Mr. Mendoza.
