You can bring a film and book event to your community…
The Lesson Plan is an affordable tool for classroom engagement.
Explore on your own or pair it with a Screening or Author Talk.
Engage your classroom with a full unit lesson plan for the documentary film and book, suitable for high school and college educators (and younger audiences with modification).
The ebook includes worksheets, activities, and a final project designed by professional educators with National Curriculum Standards for Social Studies, National Council of English Teachers (NCTE) and the International Reading Association (IRA) Standards for the English Language Arts in mind.
“The book and the film could be included as part of an English unit or course around memoir, creative nonfiction, nonfiction, or journalism/documentation. Combined with the film documentary, the book is ideal as a unit or part of a course around digital storytelling. Given its extensive references to Jim Crow, the Kerner Commission, the Civil Rights Movement, Vietnam, other events and people relevant to the 1960s, and their direct impact on the current political climate in America, Through the Banks of the Red Cedar also makes an ideal text for a modern History or combined History/English unit or class.””
