His work ranged from vernacular verse celebrating peasant life in Jamaica to poems that protested racial and economic inequities.

STUDENT GUIDELINES FOR USING THIS RESOURCE

Completed with a partner, students will analyze how writers use metaphors in poetry by looking at examples. The PDF provides multiple examples to guide students. They will then read and analyze a mentor poem and utilize the same structure to write their poem. They will love creating their poems and watching their ideas come to life! This well-organized activity allows students to effortlessly become poets, while thinking about concise and precise word choice, counting syllables to create rhythm, getting exposure to high-quality examples, and learning something new! This project should take about 2 weeks, from start to finish and is perfect for display.

***Optional Competitive Element:
I always choose Finalistsbased on poem structure, meaning and how they visualized their metaphor. I then ask another teacher to select 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winners. And of course, the winners get a prize!

This resource features all of the materials you need to conduct a Stations Activity to introduce students to Black History Month. The lesson involves movement, energy, creative thinking and most of all, collaboration. All tasks are Language Arts skills-based so that with this engaging lesson, learning is not sacrificed; in fact, students will come away from it with a greater understanding about the major contributions, achievements, and literary works of Black Americans.

How does it work?

Your students will work to complete 5 language arts-based tasks about Black History Month.

• Notable & Quotable: In the first task, students will read 8 quotes that are significant to the study of Black History. Students must identify the word spelled incorrectly in each quote and write it correctly in boxes on their answer sheet.

• Black History Facts: In the second task, students will find 7 facts about Black History Month. To reveal the code, they must identify the part of speech of the underlined word within each passage.

• Black Ocean: In the third task, must correctly identify the figurative language devices in passages of poetry by renowned Black poets.

• A Dream Deferred: In the fourth task, students will perform a close reading of Langston Hughes’ Harlem and answer multiple choice questions about the poem.

• Famous Firsts: Complete the word search of famous firsts by Black Americans by searching for the last name of each figure. Once all names have been found, the letters that remain form a quote by Martin Luther King, Jr. Once students bring this to you, they have completed the activity!

Product Includes:

- Stations Activity Basics

- Preparation Checklist
- Detailed Day-Of Instructions
- Student Teams Chart
- Materials for 5 Tasks: task signs, task instructions, and supplementary materials
- Student Answer Sheet
