New Program Uses Literature to Prevent Dating Abuse
-- School Library Journal, 4/15/2009
Lessons from Literature is a new, innovative program that equips teachers with the tools to help teens build healthy relationships using the books they’re already teaching. Created by master teachers across the country in partnership with the National Council of Teachers of English (NCTE), and sponsored by the Family Violence Prevention Fund, all materials are free and aligned with NCTE’s language arts standards.
The site includes a lesson template and an online, searchable resource library of books that tie into the themes of abuse, as well as movies, documents, plays, and songs. A classroom manual and poster are also available.
