Getting digital projects off the ground is only the first step to bringing neglected texts by American women authors into the sunlight. Without college/university instructors and high school teachers adopting them in the classroom, these texts may continue to remain forgotten.
This index of teaching materials—including lesson plans, activities, syllabi, and other pedagogical artifacts—aims to provide scholar-educators with free, open-access, and easy-to-use materials to help promote the digital recovery of American women writers in their classrooms. These materials underwent the Recovery Hub’s pedagogical peer review process. They also all were selected for the way they align with the Recovery Hub’s pedagogical mission.
Below, you’ll first find teaching materials that are related specifically to Hub-supported projects, as well as teaching materials about digital recovery more broadly.
