Page counts include a Cover, Terms of Use, one page of related resource links, and Credits. All of the text boxes in purchased fonts and all of the graphics are flattened per the clip artists' and font artists' Terms of Use, but most of the text boxes in Century Gothic font are editable and moveable. If you already own my digital Personal Hygiene lesson, many of the slides in Part 3 of this resource are similar. **A note on editable Google Slides™** You'll need to show students this resource in edit mode (not present mode) whenever you want to be able to type your students’ responses into the editable text boxes (they are editable text boxes, so you use it in edit mode) and drag and drop moveable shapes in that mode.
