Welcome
to the Drawing Words & Writing Pictures teachers lounge. Here you'll find teaching guides to each chapter and syllabi to help you plan your class.

Click chapter guides at the left to get a chapter-by-chapter guide to approaching the book. Within each guide there are links to critiqued examples of student work, which are also on the chapter pages in the student union.

Click syllabi and lesson plans, left, for a variety of approaches to the material.

We would love to hear how you use DWWP in your classroom. Please send your syllabi and lesson plans, and any other feedback to us here.
