11th Grade English
American Literature
Between novels, students in American Literature class are
studying the poetry of the Harlem Renaissance. In order to
deepen their understanding of this massive creative output of
African Americans, students have also been studying the blues.
The blues is a musical form that helped influence Harlem
Renaissance writers like Langston Hughes—and every genre of
popular American music—for the last 100 years.
