How am I supposed to incorporate Throughlines into my class when my syllabus is already cramped?

We know you already have great syllabi, and that no scholar wants to replace their own lesson plans with some kind of course module. Instead, Throughlines offers new approaches to the same texts, concepts, theories, and histories you’re already teaching. The lessons offered here are new ways in for you and your students and can be incorporated into your teaching without having to adjust your syllabus.

And for those of you feeling more radical, also included in Throughlines are complete syllabi, assignments, and in-class activities. Have at it!
