For LIBS 644: Literature & Media for Young Adults, I created a paired teacher’s guide for high school students. This guide includes a nonfiction book and a fiction book about the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre, intended to be taught by a social studies teacher and an English teacher. The assignment includes a pre-reading warm-up activity, bulletin board idea, reviews, discussion questions, and additional resources. The instructional ideas meet Virginia Standards of Learning for social studies and English, and include an additional project meeting a fine arts SOL.
Student Learning Outcomes:
2. Demonstrate leadership attributes for a variety of information environments.
4. Access, synthesize, and evaluate information to assist information seekers.
