A practical guide to preparing Unit 1, choosing file formats and keeping the ten-lesson sequence connected.
Five-minute setup
Before your first lesson
- 1
Open Lesson 1.1
Use the Unit 1 library to open the first lesson package. The lessons are intended to be taught in numerical order.
- 2
Read the lesson plan first
Check the lesson purpose, preparation, resource list and cumulative timings before opening the presentation.
- 3
Choose a presentation format
Canva is the recommended presentation route because it preserves the intended animations and transitions. Use PowerPoint or PDF when offline access is needed.
- 4
Print at 100% scale
Print only the student and teacher resources named in the lesson plan. Avoid “fit to page” when precise worksheet margins matter.
- 5
Create a simple storage routine
Students keep individual work; teams keep shared documents together. Later lessons return to and improve earlier decisions.
File formats
Use the version that fits your classroom.
Best for reliable display and printing. The layout is fixed, so it is the safest reference when checking how a file should look.
Canva · Recommended
The preferred classroom presentation route. It preserves the intended animations and transitions, and each GlobeSkills presentation includes concise presenter notes.
Word
Best when you want to adapt a teacher document. Use the matching PDF as the fixed-layout reference.
Teacher FAQ
Quick answers
Can I rearrange the lessons?
That is not recommended. Unit 1 is cumulative: teams use earlier reflection, formation and systems work in later lessons.
Can a lesson take longer than 45 minutes?
Yes. The core architecture is 45 minutes, but discussion, practical challenges and filming can be extended when your timetable allows.
Which documents should students keep?
Keep completed individual worksheets with each student and shared team documents with the team. These provide evidence of development and support later review.
What is the best way to present a GlobeSkills lesson?
Canva is recommended because it preserves the intended animations and transitions. Each presentation also includes concise presenter notes with practical teaching prompts. A standard Canva account is free, and eligible verified primary and secondary teachers can apply for Canva Education at no charge.
What if Canva is unavailable?
Use the PowerPoint or PDF export. The lesson does not depend on Canva during class, although some animations, transitions and presenter-note functionality may not appear in the PDF version.
Why do some lessons include a complete-package ZIP?
It brings the coordinated files for that lesson into one download. The same files remain available separately when you only need one format.
What should I do if a download fails?
Try the individual file link, confirm that you are signed in and refresh the lesson page. During the pilot, contact the person who shared your GlobeSkills access if the problem continues.
