The Tsongas Industrial History Center makes available many lesson plans and sources from which teachers can choose in preparing their Workshop product: a “portfolio” of lesson plans using workshop content (though not necessarily focused on Lowell) for three classroom periods of instruction.
Teachers will
(1) develop or adapt sources or lessons and submit them to the Tsongas Center by September 1, 2012,
(2) choose one lesson they developed or adapted and nominate it for posting on the workshop website,
(3) implement lessons with students, and
(4) respond to an April 2013 survey about the impact of the Workshop on their teaching and student learning.
Optional online discussions are offered in September ("Cotton, Cloth, and Conflict: Meaning of Slavery in a Northern Textile City) and January ("Bridging Cultures: Lowell’s Immigration History as a Case Study ").
