Book Reviews of Poetry for Young People: Langston Hughes
Book Review: Excellent tool to teach literary concepts!
Summary: 5 Stars
My co-teacher and I have used this book to introduce poetry from the Harlem Renaissance. We have also used it to have our high school students (juniors) practice forming literary concepts such as symbolism, exaggeration, irony, analogy, and labeling. There are great images that accompany this book, and it has aided our students (special education through AP/Honors level) in making those connections. As a follow-up activity, we gave our students poetry from the Harlem Renaissance and had them create their own visuals/political cartoons illustrating those literary concepts.
This book would be great a great teaching tool for teachers from middle school through high school, as well as parents who want to introduce some richer African American poetry to their children.
