TEACHER LESSONS ArtsNetMinnesota is designed to be a forum for multiple perspectives. Curriculum content was constructed from the museum professionals' perspective (art, artists, discussion, activities), the students' perspective (student link) and from the teachers' perspective (teacher lessons). Please read the following guidelines to help us expedite your lesson submissions. How to get started? The primary criterion is a connection to one of the more than 50 posted art works on ArtsNetMinnesota. The connection might be by style. Perhaps you have an environmental/sculpture lesson you would like to include on the "Nash" page. Maybe you've developed a botany/biology lesson you would like to attach to the O'Keeffe page. You may want to use a suggested classroom activity as a launch point. Be creative! Dig out all those great pictures of past student work. This is a great way for you to help your students publish on the World Wide Web, build their portfolios, and for you to receive recognition for the work that you do! Please use the following format: Format for Lesson Submission Credit (how you wish your name to appear, the full name of your school and its location, and the grade(s)/subject(s) you teach). Title of Lesson Grade Objectives of Lesson (What will the students know?) Materials Needed (What supplies do the students need?) Vocabulary (What will the new words be?) Preparation (What do you need for presentation?) Procedure (What will you do? What will the students do?) Clean Up (Who/How) Assessment (How will you measure or know if the students met your objectives?) Pictures of Student Work/Images We encourage you to submit student work as prints, slides, or already digitized on disk. Identify software used, platform, etc. Use only first names of students. Write captions for images! Personal Work You may include your own work if it fits into the context of the lesson. Other Works of Art Your lesson may refer and be linked to any artwork that appears on ArtsNetMinnesota. Works outside the ArtsNetMinnesota site may have copyright restrictions. Text Format Lesson text should be on disk labeled with the platform (IBM or Mac) , the software (Microsoft Word, WordPerfect, etc.) and the name of the lesson file. Also include HARD COPY (print out) of the text. If there are reading or research assignments, list appropriate resources that are available in your school's library. Edits and Timeline Please note that all published work is edited. We may also edit your lesson for accuracy and clarity. This is standard museum policy so do not feel insulted! We cannot guarantee a specific timeline for posting or that every lesson submitted will meet the criteria set above. Museum staff will be happy to work with you to resolve any questions. This is a wonderful resume building opportunity for both you and your students! New News You can also participate in another way. The New News page is an opportunity for you to post a short paragraph and photos of a past, present, or future event or student work. To Submit or Ask a Question Just send the pictures (print/slide, or digitized) and disk to: Dr. Barbara Bridges, 3139 Blackheath Drive, St. Cloud, MN 56301. maine@cloudnet.com [ Return to the TOP of the page ] Themes | Resources | Sitemap | Participants | Help
