Listen to Langston...Read It...

~First read the poem yourself. Make a list of thoughts, emotions, questions, etc... that you have after the first reading.
~Listen to Hughes introduction. What did he tell you that you didn't already know? What ideas about the poem were explained further?
~Now use Hughes as a Template. Write your own poem... "I've Known......" - This is your poem...what have you come to know? "I've known Heartache" to "I've Known football tackles..."








Exoerience it through written word and moving picture....
