Today, students received Poem of the Week "Harlem" by Langston Huges. It is located here.
Students should annotate the poem. They should write a 1/2-1 page paper about their thoughts, feelings, personal reflections on the poem. Here is a Nike commercial that uses the poem.
We discussed "A-ha" moments and did an assignment in class. This is a walk-away. I will be grading these and talking to students who didn't pass the first assignment or the follow-up test.
Parent/Teacher conference is on Thursday 9/18.
