EDUCATION PROGRAMS
The Literary Freedom Project provides
educators with literary arts lesson plans and workshops based on the
content of each issue of Mosaic. Each plan uses the work by writers
of African descent as a connective tool to a variety of subjects: history,
social studies, and English. Our goal is to increase self awareness
while promoting reading and strengthening literacy.
-
Lesson Plans
Mosaic supplements its editorial content with lesson plans that
are developed based on the content of Mosaic. These lesson plans,
developed for secondary school educators, demonstrate how Mosaic’s
content can serve as a connective tool to explore educational subjects
such as history and social studies while also serving to increase
the importance of literature in the classroom.
-
Workshops
In March 2010, we will launch a series of professional-development
workshops featuring creative ways for keeping literature and books
valuable sources of knowledge and creativity in high school education.
Our workshops help educators incorporate literature into existing
curricula to further explore course while strengthening literacy
and cultural identity.
-
Mosaic Literary Conference
MLC provides a platform for literature-based creative thinking
and knowledge sharing. Each year we invite educators, community
and arts organizations, and artists to participate in various professional-development
workshops.
