If you need a specific topical lesson plan    e-mail Kirstine Sigloh at ksigloh@odu.edu to request a lesson.
 

These pages might be your most useful pages on the site. However, YOU need to keep building it!

Please take the time to submit a lesson - one or two of your favorite - and allow us to post them here. If everyone sends one lesson, that'll be approximately 400 lessons for you and other Marketing teachers to use (if you are not from Virginia but have discovered this site, please contribute!).

Below are a few categories, but don't feel like you are limited to only these. Suggest a category or start your own. In submitting a lesson, it may be as long or as short as you like. It may even be just the activity that you use in your lesson. Along with your lesson, please include a ONE LINE descriptive title for the lesson. This is what will be seen by viewing teachers on this page, and this line will help them to determine if it is something they want to examine.
