Book Reviews of The Block
Book Review: Awesome Book
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this book after seeing the interactive website on The Block, and this is a wonderful addition to any lesson on Romare Bearden. It breaks the piece up into panels and Langston Hughes wrote a poem for each section. It is very engaging to my students and has sparked much discussion about both men and their works.
