What educators are saying
I used this resource with 7th grade as an intro to Langston Hughes. The students handled the poetry well and quickly understood the relationship between the two poems.
Thank you so much. My students really loved this. I used it as a supplement to the Whitman and Hughes pieces that I had already taught that seemed too daunting for them. I will definitely use this again.
