Clicking into a Lesson will show you the Teaching Tools, including a pre-made lesson plan!
Scroll down and click Continue to continue to the lesson materials for students.

Once you reach the last material in a Lesson, scroll down and click Mark Lesson as Complete to save your progress.
You will see all the Lessons you have completed by seeing the check mark to the left of the Lesson.
Once you complete all of the Lessons in the Unit, you will see a Completion Badge become available for your class!
