Sketching and Extruding Cycle

Hi all!
I'm a reasonably new Onshape user, and am in the deep end teaching some 14 year old students their first introduction to onshape. I've created a document called the Sketching and Extruding cycle. It's meant to be a map that allows students to create parts.
I'd love some feedback before we send it off the the graphic designer.

Have you played around with extruding right from the sketch? It skips a step and uses the full sketch rather than the sketch loops. There are a lot of options in here - but to make it simple - I'd just make a single loop -
1-2-3-4-5a-5b-5c-5d. where there is a shortcut to Extrude from the sketch that takes your from 3 - 5c.
