Begin with a short lesson on elements of clear writing and successful exhibit writing. This could include going over visitor expectations, different types of exhibit labels, and clear language.

Have students work either in small groups or on their own, have them write object text for a specific component. In this short description of the art they should distill the main ideas that artist is trying to capture using a small amount of text.
