The line, "I am not your rolling wheel, I am the Highway" is a great representation of saying that the writer is not going to take being used anymore. This is the meaning that you came up with as a class! Great work!
We had a presentation about "Other Voices from the Harlem Renaissance," if you missed the notes, please get them from a classmate.
On Monday, we will finish the activity introduced today in class. Groups of 3 students each to analyze 3 different poems handed out to each group. Each group will be responsible for:
- Write out the main idea of the poem in 2-3 complete sentences (main ideas are not single words)
- Pull out 2 symbols (metaphor, simile, imagery) from each poem using text examples.
- Relate poems back to one of the 6 themes of the Harlem Renaissance that we developed as a class.
- How do the symbols link with the themes. Why would the poet choose that symbol?
- Write down 2-3 words you don't know from the poems. Tell me what you think they mean using the text to inform you. Draw clues from the text.
See you then!
Have a great weekend!
