Holiday Teaching Opportunities
March 24th, 2009
Holidays are great. Everyone gets to celebrate and there are always loads of fun crafts to do. While you’re gearing up to do some of those crafts, take a moment to teach at the same time. Put together a lesson that includes a history of the holiday or one that focuses on a new art technique or style. Perhaps you could discuss some family traditions or several different cultures. Don’t fall into the trap of just cutting out big hearts or shamrocks or stars or whatever to decorate and stick on the wall. The holiday gives you a hook to get students interested – don’t pass up a golden teaching opportunity.
