How do I make my Files visible to students in ENGL 512.01

@rachel_trubowit I am not sure if you realized it or not but you posted your question to a global Canvas community and we do not have access to your system to look at how you have setup your course or to know what ENGL 512.01 represents.  We are just fellow Canvas users like yourself.  With that said, I am going to try and answer your question in general terms that should apply to any course.

There are multiple ways to share files with students.  You can use the rich content editor (RCE) to embed links to them on a page or you can use modules and upload files as part of one of the modules.  If you already have them in Canvas and just want the "Files" area visible to students, you can change that in your navigation settings.

Hope this helps!
