Langston Hughes

Getting Started  Open up your Poetry Daily Work document and label the top “Langston Hughes”  Open up to page 566 and read his biography  List 3 FACTS you see in this biography

“Madam and the Rent Man”  Turn to page 561 and read the poem silently  Now turn to a neighbor and ONE person read just the first stanza (which is lines….???)  What “tone” of voice does the rent man use?  How do you know?  Now the other person reads the second stanza (which is lines…?)  What “tone” of voice does the woman/tenant use?  How do you know?

“Madam and the Rent Man”  Continue taking turns reading the different stanzas.  When you finish, assign one person the role of the rent man and the other person the role of the madam/tenant.  Practice reading the poem with the appropriate tone/attitude for each part.  I’ll be asking for volunteers!

Tone/Mood  What do you think is the Tone/Attitude that Langston Hughes used in this poem?  Why do you say that? Provide 2 lines/words that prove this tone.  What was the mood that you were in when you read it?  Remember, just because the tenant was angry, doesn’t mean that it’s an angry poem. How did it sound as you read it?

Theme Paragraph  Open up your “Theme Paragraph” in your Google Drive  Look over BOTH the feedback you received and where you scored on the rubric  Make the necessary changes to improve your paragraph

More of Langston Hughes  This will be good test practice, so please take it seriously!!!  Go to my website and open up “Theme for English B” poem by Langston Hughes, and read the poem.  OR pick up a copy of the poem on the back table.

Theme Paragraph  Go back to your “Theme Paragraph”  Enter your current Theme Paragraph down  Label the top of the page “Theme for English B”

Pick a Theme  Write down which theme you think BEST fits the poem:  People of different races will never be able to get along  Instructors give confusing assignments that only make sense to some people  All people are connected to one another  People are all exactly the same inside  Then write down TWO lines from the poem that fit your theme.

Theme Paragraph  Before you start writing, think/look back to the feedback you received about your first theme paragraph. You do not want to make the same mistakes again.  Write a well-structured paragraph that answers the question: What is the theme of “Theme for English B”?  Use at least TWO ICE Quotes  This is due by the end of the hour
