• successful lessons (Pre-K up to 12th grade)

Pick a topic and start writing! Think about:

• how you would express your idea to a fellow art teacher.
• what artist, trend, or issue influenced your idea.
• the main ideas you are trying to communicate.
• what teachers need to know to effectively teach the lesson.

When writing:

• use a conversational style.
• outline your ideas.
• keep it to 800 words or less.

No time to write a full lesson? Start with a quick one-day lesson and submit a ClipCard! Learn more about ClipCards and how to submit one.
