Easel by TpT™ 

Easel is TpT’s built-in digital tool. Some resources, like mine, include interactive Easel lessons or assessments created by the Teacher-Author and attached to the listing. You can’t download the Easel activity itself—you’ll access it through your TpT account.

While that means there are a few limitations, Easel is a great option if you want something more interactive than a PDF or Google Slides, without paying for a separate platform.

In other cases, Easel is simply enabled, allowing you to add text boxes or answer fields to a printable resource—perfect for creating a digital version of a paper activity. Every one of my Grammar Mini Units comes with a complete Easel lesson and activity. You can access them from your TpT “My Purchases” page or directly from your Easel Library by clicking your username at the top of the TpT site. 

I’ve designed these lessons with flexibility in mind, so you can adapt them to your teaching style and your students’ needs.

Each Easel Activity begins with a step-by-step mini lesson. I love using these during whole class instruction—whether I’m introducing a topic or reviewing one we’ve already covered.

I almost always display lessons on my Smart Board, even just for giving directions. Visuals really help many of my students stay engaged and understand the content.

From your Easel Library, click on the activity you want to use, then choose “Present.” The slides walk through the grammar topic with clear explanations and examples. At the end of the lesson, there are interactive practice questions you can do as a class.

If you have a touch screen board, students can even come up to complete the activity themselves. You could turn it into a team competition—my students love this kind of participation.

Often, I use just the lesson portion during whole group instruction and assign the activities for independent work. More on that below.
