Abstract
EDITOR’S INTRODUCTION
As always, the 2024 - 2025 Teaching Guide exemplifies the Collin College Book-in Common Committee’s commitment to the goal of a year-long, college-wide engagement with an important book and its author. This dystopian novel discusses themes of art, culture, survival, relationships, health, and memory. Highlights of this year’s Guide include:
- New for 2024 – 2025
- Fall 2024 Assessment-aligned activities for COAT Core Objective Personal Responsibility
- Review the interactive teaching strategies and access scaffolding activities
- Responses to the text including explorations of the major themes in Station Eleven, reflection prompts, subject assignments, and connections to art, biology, and social science concepts.
- Links to videos on book themes and interviews with the author.
- Classroom activities organized by discipline.
- Support for a variety of teaching modalities including class discussion, journaling and reflection, extended student research, essay and research paper assignments, and creative assignments.
- The novel Station Eleven, which was a finalist for the National Book Award and the PEN/Faulkner Award, won the 2015 Arthur C. Clarke Award, the Toronto Book Award, and the Morning News Tournament of Books.
The materials contained here will deepen our thinking and strengthen our teaching.
It is my great honor to follow Marta Moore (retired) as the editor of the Teaching Guide. You will note that I have maintained Marta’s wonderfully useful and collaborative guide in its original layout and design. Thanks, Marta!
