Create a Classroom Assignment

Teachers create assignments from /classroom/assign. The app creates Google Classroom coursework in Draft first, then you publish it.

• Passage details ready (translation, book, chapter, verse range)

1. Go to /classroom/assign.
2. Confirm the page title is Create Assignment.
