This lavishly illustrated book is a collection of 13 poems by African American poets such as Maya Angelou, Langston Hughes, and Alexis de Veaux. |
Teaching Ideas: |
Teachers may want to pick and choose poems for different activities. Some poems lend themselves to dramatic readings, some for line-by-line reading and discussion, some for written journal responses. The poems may provide motivation for studying family history and roots. A research project of finding other poems by the authors and other books illustrated by Tom Feelings could follow. Students may want to write their own poems or prose in response to one of the illustrations. For more information on Langston Hughes, go to this website www.
