Students will be studying poetry from the Harlem Renaissance. The focus will be on how poetic devices in poetry have an effect on the reader. After reading a number of poems from the Harlem Renaissance and sharing the effects of poetic devices with their classmates, students will choose a poem from the Harlem Renaissance and focus on a specific poetic device.
