What do you know about the Harlem Renaissance? Were you even aware such a cultural movement existed? Do you know the names of any people who were involved? What do you think might have taken place during the Harlem Renaissance?
In your journal, create a KWL Chart regarding the Harlem Renaissance. A KWL chart is used to understand the following about a topic: what an individual "Knows" about a topic, what an individual "Wants" to know about a topic, and what an individual has "Learned" about a topic.
Before reading poetry of the Harlem Renaissance, access the KWL Chart and complete the first two columns with complete sentences describing what you know and want to know about the Harlem Renaissance. Save your chart because you will get the chance to revisit it and add information to the third column "What I Have Learned" later in this topic.
