In today’s session, Natalie reviewed the meaning of the Harlem Renaissance movement by conducting some internet research about the movement. She then chose two poets to research along with Langston Hughes. Next, we read a short biographical sketch about Langston Hughes and 4 of his poems. We discussed the symbolism and the social context in which they were written. For homework, she was given the book, “Dream Keeper”, by Langston Hughes. She will read 3 chapters and pick a poem from each chapter. She will then write a paragraph about the symbolism of each poem and why it spoke to her.
