Teaching Resources

There are three parts to the Minnesota Standards for the Arts: Performance, Creation, and Response. The materials available through ACT'98 help teachers to fulfill all three objectives.

The performances allow students to respond to others' work by analyzing and interpreting what they experience.

The assessment package requires students to perform what they create. This is the only endorsed package that brings together four different forms while meeting the standard, though you can also pull out portions of the package to use on its own.
