The student journey
This is a build — not a worksheet packet
Every lesson runs like the story students are about to make: read it, write it, build it, polish it, publish it. The printables scaffold each stage — the published Elementari project is the destination.

📖
Read
Students read a short, high-interest passage — a real-world hook, not a dry textbook definition — to spark ideas for what they'll make.
📖Read Before You Build: 'This or That' Personality Quiz
An interactive quiz combines a clear idea with instructions that respond to an audience. In 'This or That' Personality Quiz, each page has a job and each milestone adds one testable part. The designer should make the expected action visible…

Questions
Teacher FAQ
Do I need to know how to code?
No coding experience needed. Studio Compass guides students through Guided Steps — each names the exact block and checks itself off — while you facilitate.
What devices does it work on?
Any modern browser — laptops, Chromebooks, and tablets. Nothing to install.
Do my students need an account?
No student email addresses required. You roster your class in a couple of clicks, and students join with a simple class code.
Is it standards-aligned?
Yes — each lesson shows national frameworks and supported state codes from your Standards setting, with specific standards and DOK levels called out in the answer key.
Can students work at different levels?
Built-in read-aloud, sentence frames, and task-level word suggestions meet students where they are, and the self-checking steps let each student work at their own pace.
How do students share their work?
They submit to you for review; you publish the best to your class showcase, each with a public link.
