Instructor Guide for Teachers & Profs
I have been overwhelmed by the way college and high school students have embraced Columbine. To support students and the profs/teachers adding Columbine to their courses, we have:
Cross-Curriculum Instructor Guide
The instructor guide is designed for college or high school courses. It is applicable to English/Literature, Creative Writing, Psychology, Crimonology, (high school) Social Studies and Journalism, Media Studies, Contemporary History, Political Science, Sociology and Religious Studies. We have included special-emphasis areas for literature and creative writing. Other emphasis-sections will be added soon.
The guide includes:
– Topics
– Discussion/Test Questions
– Assignments
– Further Reading
– Background Material (author bio, book summary & links to reviews, bibliography, etc.)
We are eager to improve the guide, so please email suggestions, critiques, and materials you have used in your courses (dave@davecullen.com).
Columbine was an ALA Alex finalist and named Top Education Book of 2009 by the American School Board Journal.
Short videos
are now available for classroom discussion, or to give students more insights to pursue research papers, essays, etc.
