As many educators across the world have faced unprecedented challenges with a global pandemic and many other political factors, and with a desire to uplift and amplify the voices of teachers during this time, I have created an ELA curriculum focused on hunger called Learning Through Storytelling in collaboration with the author, Roger Thurow, who published three books based on his experiences fighting hunger at home and abroad. The curriculum is based on the books, Enough, The Last Hunger Season, and The First 1,000 Days, which address historic decisions which have exacerbated hunger, the challenges of smallholder farmers during the hunger season, the first 1,000 days for mothers and children, the planetary health movement, and hunger in America. Using a free and reproducible resource via Google Classroom, Padlet, and Catalog, resources, lesson plans, and discussion topics are provided along with photo essays, Prezi videos, a NewsELA binder, and Flipgrid. Presenters will discuss the curriculum and ways to implement it in your classrooms as well as implications for further study. We would love to workshop your ideas and gain evaluations and feedback regarding the curriculum's relevance, feasibility, and quality. We will share some of the stories of our current teachers as well as highlight the stories that are central to the book and curriculum. As storytelling is a central process and a beautiful part of the study of English Language Arts, the curriculum centers on the stories of real people across the world who face and overcome hunger.
