I am having a hard time with my cover letter

[Sarky Devotchka]

it's tough to write about wanting to be an art teacher without using the word create in it's various forms.

I'm getting there though.

Though I have never had my own classroom, my work with children has usually involved creating and implementing art activities. I believe that lessons should provide a starting point that illicits a creative response. Instruction should help students better acheive their own vision, rather than hinder their creativity.

crap.

[Sarky Devotchka]

somebody fix my last sentence!

[mickill]

Wherever you feel you want to use the word create, just replace it with the word conjure. It will sound way professionaller.

[Sarky Devotchka]

I hate you.

Instruction should help students better acheive their own vision, rather than guide them to fit an ideal.

[mickill]

Put "rather than hinder their development" maybe. And you should correct your spelling for 'achieve'.

[Bob]

how about, rather than hinder their creativity BY guiding them to fit an ideal?

although i'm not sure i like the word "guiding"

or guide, or whatever you said

[mickill]

Now, that's just dumb, Bob.

Though I have never had my own classroom, my work with children has usually involved developing and implementing art activities. I believe that lessons should provide a starting point that illicits an imaginative response. Instruction should help students better achieve their own vision, rather than hinder their creativity.


Mayhaps? Whatever. I hate you too.

I'm going to go back to eating my yogurt.

[Sarky Devotchka]

okay okay, thanks for helping, I'm on my way

[Sarky Devotchka]

Though I have never had my own classroom, my work with children has usually involved planning and implementing art activities. I believe that lessons should provide a starting point that illicits an imaginative response from children; instruction should help students better achieve their own vision, rather than hinder their creativity by guiding them to fit an ideal.

[Sarky Devotchka]

I have a serious mental blockage when it comes to cover letters. they make me want to die.

[mickill]

I actually liked what Merv wrote.

Or...

Though I have never had my own classroom, my work with children has usually involved creating and implementing art activities. I believe that lessons should provide a starting point that illicits a creative response. Instruction should help students better acheive their own vision while providing structure and guidance so they won't become all fucked up later in life.

I'm very crafted in the world of fart art.

Just tell em that Chicken Soup for the Soul story when the teacher forces all the kids to draw the same flower and then when the kid gets a teacher that tells em to draw what they want the kid's all OMG WTF and explodes.

[ericlee]

maybe use an example of fart art as the cover letter?
