BookBox 3: Examining Latin America through nature and the environment will start on Tuesday, October 12, 2021 to Tuesday, December 14, 2021 (9 sessions, no session week of Thanksgiving). Each TUESDAY, from 5-6:30/7 p.m., we will discuss one of the selected books (five in total) and ways we can think about nature and environment in Latin America, creating room for how this has greater long-term effects. This program runs 9 weeks long--an initial session that is led by Dr. Enciso, sessions for each book and a final presentation session. Teachers can earn 14.5 contact hours/1.45 CEUS for their participation, as well as a possible $100 for a completed lesson plan (with corrections, should that be needed).
Schedule:
- Session 1: 5-7 p.m.--Dr. Enciso and Pamela Espinosa de los Monteros (OSU Librarian) Courtesy Associate Professor.
- Sessions 2-8: 5-6:30 p.m.—Five sessions focus on each of the selected books. Two sessions will have guest speakers.
- Session 9: 5-7 p.m.--Lesson Plan Draft Presentation & final reflection of the Virtual BookBox.
