In this webinar, we will address how 19th Century African American periodicals can inform literacy learning. From Mark Twain to Frederick Douglass, 19th century African-American periodicals are a viable and interesting resource/research tool for 21st century students. Discover how the African-American periodical is at once similar and yet unique in this period and its importance in understanding this era. We will illustrate how using these periodicals, with literary excerpts, can enhance literacy learning and engender critical thinking and inquiry.

Presenter: Jocelyn A. Chadwick, Educator, Consultant, and Scholar, National Council of Teachers of English and Harvard Graduate School of Education, consultant and Twain scholar.
