Blog about one of the poems we've covered in class. Look at or listen to some of the primary source material related to this poet (a video interview, an audio recording, actual manuscripts).
How did watching or listening to the primary source affect your reading of the poem? Who was the intended audience for the original poem? What is the poem about, in your opinion, and how does it relate to the Harlem Renaissance? Can you imagine this poem being written today and, if so, by whom? (If you can't think of a current writer, compare the piece to a movie, TV show, or anything online you've seen).
