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
In July 2009, Mosaic will start to supplement the
editorial content of each issue with lesson plans that
will be developed based on the content of Mosaic. These
lesson plans, developed for secondary school educators,
will 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 October 2009, we will launch a new bi-annual
professional-development workshop 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 work that
focuses on social studies --explorations of history,
geography, economics, government, and civics.
-
Mosaic Literary Conference & Festival
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.
