presented by Laurie Sabol, Tisch Library Instruction Coordinator
September 21, 2005
The Tisch Library at Tufts University is the only Massachusetts location for the national travelling "Forever Free" exhibition, running October 12-December 2, 2005. In this workshop, teachers and librarians were introduced to the following exhibition themes:
- America during the Civil War
- Abraham Lincoln's contradictory views on slavery
- Abolition
Relevant library and web-based research resources were identified to support, explore and discuss these themes and learn to teach students about this turbulent time in American history through examination of the themes and development of meaningful classroom projects. Handouts follow.
