  • Lesson Plans
    The Literary Freedom Project develops literary arts lesson plans and workshops for educators based on the content of each issue of Mosaic. Each 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.


     

  • Workshops
    LFP develops literary arts workshops for students, parents, and educators Our goal is to increase self awareness through literature while promoting reading and strengthening literacy.

    Our workshops, which focus on the crucial need for reading and expository writing skills as essential elements for increased cultural identity, vocational prospects, and education opportunities, will make a substantial impact in your classroom and workshop settings.

    LFP instructors are degreed literary artists with experience in connecting youth pedagogy, reading and writing skills. LFP coordinates the placement of our teaching artists in schools and out-of-school-time (OST) venues for youth and parents.

    LFP also provides 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 work that focuses on social studies --explorations of history, geography, economics, government, and civics.
