Partially Editable Google Slide Deck

It brings me great joy to be able to provide for you a partially EDITABLE Google Slides deck, which gives you the freedom to edit the text or font, and add, delete, duplicate, and move slides around. This is accomplished with great care to ensure we adhere to clip artist copyright rules.

*With this in mind, please note clip art, backgrounds, and headings are not editable. Some blackline masters (writing paper) are also not editable. Nevertheless, If you are in need of further edits to best match the needs of your students, I am always happy to help. Please email me at karlakreates@icloud.com and we can discuss possible further edits.
