Collegiate and Highschool Lectures
The issues addressed in When I Was Elena bridge many fields (literature, sociology, gender studies, Latin American history, international development & human rights) and are fodder for explorative discussion on many topics of pertinent interest to teenagers and young adults. Drawing on her past teaching experience, Ellen invites opportunities to interact with young people in highschools and colleges/universities. Please consider including this book in your curriculum, and feel free to contact Ellen to discuss ways to make your lesson plans more immediate and relevant by incorporating her personal experiences.
IF YOUR CLASS IS HELD IN THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST, ELLEN WOULD LOVE TO JOIN YOU IN PERSON, and can craft a multi-media experience for your classroom using slides, photos, and artifacts.
