“This is heavy:” Rethinking the Research Essay with Alternate History and Lateral Reading
Dr. Ryan Smith, Communication Arts Teacher, Naperville North High School, District #203, Naperville; and Kate Rogers, Librarian and Learning Commons Director, Naperville North High School, District #203, NapervilleM-210
A few years ago, I discovered the Alternate History topic from John Warner’s “The Writer’s Practice,” and it changed my attitude towards teaching research. I realized conventional research databases wouldn’t work for this project, and I needed the work of the school’s librarian to develop materials for a new research method: lateral reading. This breakout session will be co-presented, and we will share our experience developing this novel project.
