Thursday, April 17, 2008. You will be broken up into seven groups of three. As a group you must decide how to present your stanza on the i-quilt.

You will have five minutes to brainstorm and then we will film in order of the poem. Clean the spittoons, boy. The steam in hotel kitchens,. Part of my life. This s...

http://langstonhugheslai513.blogspot.com/2008/04/negro-speaks-of-rivers.html
Friday, April 18, 2008. The Negro Speaks of Rivers. Perhaps because it is not, it is more sophisticated/subtle/makes you think on your own instead of speaking it out for you? I think Nikki is trying to pick up where Langston left off. It is worthwhile to look at Ariel and Jen's blog. Posted by Ms.Mongan. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Hughes' poem on Booker T.

Langston Hughes: NCTE book
http://langstonhugheslai513.blogspot.com/2008/03/ncte-book.html
Wednesday, March 26, 2008. I think this book has some great suggestions on how to teach the works of Hughes to students. The lesson where students identify "the folks" (24)in the essay. The Negro Artist and the Racial Mountain. Our class)I added an excerpt from the essay that gives a vivid description of Hughes'"folk". But then there are the low-down folks, the so-called common element, and they are the majority- may the Lord be praised! These common people are not afraid of spirituals, as for a long tim...

Thursday, April 17, 2008. Working with a difficult text proved to be difficult. The text was dry and at times dragged on like a rusty tire behind a '72 Pinto.

Thursday, April 17, 2008. Rythms of the blues. Some of my earliest attempts at verse-making were creating words in my own mind to the rhythms of the blues." Chapter 1, p. 20.

Langston Hughes: I like that Idea Ms Behr (paint)
http://langstonhugheslai513.blogspot.com/2008/04/i-like-that-idea-ms-behr-paint.html
Tuesday, April 8, 2008. I like that Idea Ms Behr (paint). Pacific Railroad Brass Spitton (above) and a crazy assortment of old western stuff with brass spitton (below). It really starts out with a vague idea causing the class to prethink on a topic they may not know much about (what's a brass spitton and does it hurt? And allows them to gain access to any prior knowlegde that may exist in the class. Some adventurous students who are on their computadoras during class may google it. Posted by Mr. Wind.

Langston Hughes: lesson plan idea?
http://langstonhugheslai513.blogspot.com/2008/04/lesson-plan-idea.html
Tuesday, April 8, 2008. Ok what if we do this:. We can start the class off by showing them a wierd picture of a spittoon (that doesn't really look like a spittoon) and ask them to describe it using only adjectives. From there we can tell them it's a spittoon, and see what sort of things pop into thier mind (such as ugly, dirty, discusting habbit etc) and most will be bad things, few will see where the pride can be. Then we can read the poem:. Brass Spittoonsby Langston Hughes. Clean the spittoons, boy.
