Description:
While studying the cultural developments of the 1920s, students will prepare a program with examples of the literature of the Harlem Renaissance and works of important composers of that period. Students will perform dramatic presentations of the works of Langston Hughes and Zora Neal Hurston. They will play excerpts from recordings by Duke Ellington and Louis Armstrong. They will explain how these artists influenced today's literature and music. They will present this program to other United States History classes. A video tape of the performance will be contributed to the school library.
