Curriculum Infusion Faculty Workshop Pardess Mitchell
KWL • What do you already know about the book and how we are using it? • What do want to learn today?
Why are we doing this? • Emphasize reading as an important element of the college experience • Underscore the subtle connections between a wide range of academic disciplines • Encourage and enhance student participation • Create a sense of community • Integrate an academic and social experience into the campus community
What can I do to help? • Having the book as required reading in your courses • Embedding classroom discussion, projects, or assignments based on a theme included in the book • Exploring the notion of identity through “naming”, the way we name ourselves and others • Have students attend or participate in One Book, One Harper events as they relate to themes contained in the book
Sample Lesson- Naming • This would be a great introduction activity to the book • Names tell us a lot about people, places, and even things. • Brainstorm!Think of the reasons why/how we name people
Sample Lesson- Naming • Look at the worksheet in front of you and answer the questions • After everyone is done, we will discuss our answers with the class
Other ideas? • How can you use these different themes in your classroom? • Non-traditional families • Guns and violence • Union/Trade relations • Sexuality • Ableism • Physical deformities • Music • Race relations • Appalachian Culture • Religion • Wilderness skills
