  1. Langston Hughes: Poetry Part I 10.9.2013 Kingsley

  2. Reflection on the poetry: No books---Just reflect/remember! • Take 10 minutes to write down terms, ideas, phrases, and images that come to mind as you think about the poetry.

  3. Entry into the Poems: Listening to Hughes • As you listen to these poems, what do you notice? What language stands out? Themes? Tone? Add these observations to your list • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uM7HSOwJw20

  4. Looking back at the poems: Notes • What else did you mark or notice in the poems? Include page numbers (& poem titles).

  5. Group discussion: Themes, Images, Ideas • Choose a “SCRIBE”—this is the writer who will listen for ideas that the group shares or that he/she thinks are MOST important. The scribe’s role is to record! • As a group, each person should share your reflection & notes: What kinds of themes, images, ideas have you noted. • SCRIBE—pick out ideas you think are most important (develop a curated list). Share with the group, edit as a group, and be ready to present.

  6. Locating the Conversation: Researching Hughes at the LIBRARY! • http://www.dvc.edu/org/departments/library/ • “Articles” • Subject Tabs • Search Terms • Scrolling through the research • “Books and ebooks”

  7. Google Books & Google Scholar • http://books.google.com/ • Google Books is good for—full length texts, chapters in books, longer works, “previews” • http://scholar.google.com/ • Google Scholar is goodfor—”scholarlyarticles,” articleswrittenbyacademicsfor research journals, cited sources, dissertationchapters.

  8. Research Time • Go to the Calendar and open the research worksheet • Use the rest of your library time to complete the worksheet. • Anything unfinished, can be finished at home.

  9. Applying the conversations to the poems • As a group, share your research findings. Any intersections? Links? Connections? • What is one common conversation you share? • Once you have located a common conversation on Hughes’ work, select a poem that you think most exemplifies this conversation (or contributes to this conversation). • Prepare a summary of the poem (process from last time), prepare a close reading of a couple of verses or passages within the poem (even a piece of language or image), and create a set of questions for the poem.
