Robert Gagne proposed that instruction can be framed into nine events, and these “events” still endure as one of the standards for designing presentations. In the Information Literacy course at Valdosta State University, students learn to create lessons based on Gagne’s approach. The presenters are graduates from that program and one current student. They will demonstrate how to develop teaching presentations based on the Gagne model. Their follow‐up remarks will center upon how this type of formulaic teaching can precipitate deeper thinking about the art of teaching. Links to lesson plans will be included
