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
Mosaic supplements its editorial content with lesson plans that
are developed based on the content of Mosaic. These lesson
plans, developed for secondary school educators, 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
The professional-development workshops feature creative ways for keeping literature and books
valuable sources of knowledge and creativity in high school education.
Each helps educators incorporate literature into existing
curricula to further explore course while strengthening literacy
and cultural identity.
