"So what would a lesson for students look like if it was inspired by something shared from the teacher's iPod? The purpose of this page is to answer that question. It contains many writing across the curriculum lessons created by many amazing teachers from nearly all curriculum areas. Each lesson is tied to the writing process, the writing traits and a "mentor text" which, in each poetry lesson below, is the song and its lyrics. Read, enjoy, and give some of them a try. We will consistently be adding great lessons to this page. Perhaps yours will be one of them."

"Two years ago, WKCD produced an 11-minute video for middle and high school students that includes clips of student talking about critical social and emotional skills: managing stress, self-control, motivation, persistence, curiosity, resourcefulness, and self-confidence. The video is intended to prompt discussion among students, with many places to pause and reflect. We are posting it again because we believe it merits a fresh look. We created a short booklet, too. Together, the video and handbook underscore two BIG points: Doing well in school isn't only about academic "smarts." It's also about habits, like self-control and motivation. These habits-or strengths-help us succeed in school and life. Like muscles, both academic smarts and good habits can be built through practice."
