Webinar Series: Using New-Old Tools: African-American Periodical and Literature in Social Studies
Tuesdays, February 2, 9, 16, 23, 2016
7:00pm ET / 4:00pm PT
Anchored in both the Common Core and C3 Framework for cross-curricular approaches in ELA and Social Studies, this four-part series will be one of explication, modeling, and conversation between presenters and participants. It is designed for teachers to develop a new learning pathway into exploring nineteenth-century America, gain a rich resource stream of primary sources, and takeaway four exemplar units for immediately use in their classrooms.
The selected literature---both fiction and informational--capture the concerns, aspirations, and frustrations of the period, and the periodicals capture the facts and events as they unfolded. Each session will focus on the content of the exemplars will be literature from the nineteenth century, such as Mark Twain, Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony with African-American periodicals of the period, such as The Douglass' Monthly, The Elevator, The North Star, and The Colored American.
