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.
