+## Quick sheet critieria
+
+The concept quick sheet for each module should be one single-spaced page 
+containing the following sections. It will be hard to fit the expected level 
+of detail onto one page; it is expected that your first draft will need revision 
+to achieve the necessary density.
+  
+- **A summary of the topic.** This should include a structural overview summarizing 
+  how the concepts within the topic fit together (including a diagram if helpful), 
+  a description of specific concepts learned during the module (including key terminology), 
+  and a list of additional concepts in this area which you have not yet learned but which 
+  feel important. Conclude the summary with an explanation of why this topic is important.
+- **A proposal for how this topic could fit into your current (or anticipated) teaching context**. 
+  This should contain specific alignment between CS concepts and your content-area standards, 
+  outcomes, or emphasis areas; and ALSO alignment between CS concepts and the broader needs, 
+  interests, and priorities of your students. Explain where this concept could fit into your 
+  curriculum and a justification for this integration.
+- **A proposal for how you would teach this topic in your current (or anticipated) teaching context**. 
+  This should contain specific connections between concepts and the pedagogy (including teaching materials, 
+  lesson structures, and strategies to support students) you would use to support your specific students. 
+  You are welcome to propose using the curricular materials used in this course, existing materials, 
+  or materials which do not yet exist. Finally, describe any additional training, support, or 
+  collaboration you would need to make this happen.
+
+A second page may contain links, implementation notes, and a list of references.
+
+## Writing your quick sheet
+
+You may use any word-processing software you like to write your quick sheet. One option 
+is to write your quicksheet in markdown and then use [pandoc](https://pandoc.org/) to 
+export to PDF. This requires that you have pandoc and LaTeX installed. Alternatively, you 
+can use Word, LibreOffice, or another word processing software. 
+
+[Here's a sample quick sheet](https://makingwithcode.org/courses/ny-csdf/unit0/quicksheet_ai/sample.pdf).
+
+Either way, save your quick sheet in this directory , and run `mwc submit` when you're 
+ready to turn it in.
