Summary: |
|
| This biography describes the influences and hardships of the early years and the political activism of the later years of the African American poet Gwendolyn Brooks. The book includes a chronology, archival photos, an index, a list of published works and resources including web sites. The book has the appearance of a text book. | |
Teaching Ideas: |
|
| Since very few poems are included, students should be encouraged to use the library or Internet to find them. Students and teacher could then take turns reading her poetry out loud. Her poem on Emmett Till could be used in a small text set including A Crown for Emmett Till and Getting Away with Murder. Students might enjoy discussing why Gwendolyn Brooks stayed in Chicago. | |
