    PRESENTATION INFORMATION

    Abstract* Describe your session in less than 30 words.

    Revive the lifeless, chronological narrative textbooks present by engaging students visually with a
    thematic curriculum represented through the lens of iconic photographs capturing the tragedy and
    triumphs throughout American history.

    Objectives* (Identify no more than three objectives)

     Discuss several famous photographs and establish the criteria of what makes a historical
    image “iconic”
     Present curriculum framework organized into thematic eras featuring selected iconic
    photographs that embody the American consciousness and challenges faced in each of the 10
    time periods
     Outline a project-based final assessment with rubric to measure student learning in units
    based on the study of iconic images and student’s ability to connect that context to present
    societal challenges in the United States

    Content/Skills*
     Participants will learn how to select a unique set of iconic photographs that fit established
    criteria, but are tailored to their individual teaching situations, district curriculum requirements,
    and state content standards
     Participants will consider general strategies for- utilizing photographs as the major focus of
    historical study, discussing controversial topics with students, and designing photograph
    analysis questions that align with desired outcomes
     Participants will come away with a new modern American history course framework featuring
    suggested iconic photographs, sample lesson plans, and a project-based assessment

    Strategies* What do you plan to do in your presentation and why? Use as much space as
    you need to communicate your intent and the value of what you are proposing.

    In the age of digital communication and social media, students are inundated on a daily basis with
    images, making visual literacy skills increasingly important and essential for civic engagement and
    informed political participation. As visual media continues to shape our current culture, the future
    success of America’s democratic system will increasingly depend on citizens’ ability to critique visual
    information and take action against social injustice. The iconic photographs I will present as an
    innovative way to organize modern United States history curriculum will capitalize on students’
    already preferred method of consuming information (pictures) leading to higher engagement in the
    classroom, while the strong emotional response these photographs elicit will sear seminal moments
    in time into students’ memories resulting in longer-lasting, more meaningful learning. At the end of my
    presentation a final, project-based assessment will be offered to conference participants. In this
    assessment, students will select a contemporary image they feel exemplifies the current political and
    social climate in our country and compare the image to a similarly charged photograph from the past.
    By design, this process will encourage civic engagement by inspiring students to keep up with current
    events causing tension in our society, as well as recognizing patterns of injustice making history
    relevant in applying that context to future solutions students will generate themselves. This
    presentation will provide social studies teachers a new way to incorporate social justice instruction in
    their classrooms and deepen students’ connections with historical concepts and their own lives.
