How to organize ESL materials by unit, chapter and student
The problem with a good worksheet is finding it again. A simple structure of folder, chapter and student keeps everything where you expect it, whether you teach one class or ten.
Steps
Use folders for classes or courses
Make one folder per group or course, such as “Grade 7 ELL” or “Tuesday adults”.
Use chapters for units
Inside a folder, use chapters for the unit or topic, such as “Unit 4: Around town”.
Use people for individual follow-up
When a student needs something specific, attach a page to their name and send only that link.
Remember: groups organise, they never lock
A page can be opened by link at any level. Attaching it to a folder or a person does not change who can see it.
A simple naming habit
Start page titles with the language point (“Past simple: weekend news”). You will find it more easily next year, and students will see the point of the page at once.
Frequently asked questions
Can a page belong to two folders?
A page attaches to one folder, chapter or student at a time. If you need a variant for another group, generate a new page from the same source.
Do I need an account for the library?
Your first few pages need no sign-up. Add your email — a link, no password — to keep building and to find your library again on another device. Students never need an account.
