The Harlem Renaissance: A Web Quest
Task Harlem Renaissance so that you can create a brochure for the tour you are leading. As a tour guide, you are an expert on this cultural period in history. Part of your job is also to read a poem to your tour group (played by your class).
Process
Find the list of sites to the far right. This list includes a description of what you will find there. You need to present information in your brochure from all of the topic areas in the list to the right (A-C).
In addition, you will highlight a poet from the Harlem Renaissance and read a poem by him or her to your tour group. A mini-biography of this poet should go on your brochure, including a photograph.
When you read your poem (of 12 lines or longer) to the tour group, you need to do the following:
• Read your biography from your brochure as a way of introducing the poet.
• Say a few words about the poem you will read:
• why did you choose it
• what is special, interesting, or otherwise important about this poem
• Give the title of the poem before you read it.
• To read a poem, read slowly and carefully. Pronounce each word correctly (so look up any unfamiliar words or ask for help).
• Read with the punctuation or stop/pause where it makes sense to stop. Don't automatically stop at the end of each line (it will sound horrible if you do).
