Get your journals
out and do a KWL with the four prompts of Authors and the time periods in
which they lived. I am going to put some ideas on the board to guide whole
class discussion and journaling such as; After discussing what we know and
what we want to know, we will listen to some of the works with a short break
for discussion and reflection in between.Some works I will read Phillis Wheatly, Langston Hughes, and Tupac
Shakur, Billie Holiday has a recorded version. Students,I want you to respond in freestyle in your
journals to these poems.
