We will begin by reading the poem "Harlem" by Langston Hughes, which can be found on your organizer handout and can also be downloaded below. After reading the poem using the Patterned Way, we will have a class discussion over the significant moments and interpretive/analytical questions in the handout (attached). A line from the poem inspired the title of Lorraine Hansberry's play, A Raisin in the Sun, which we will be reading next. What might this reveal about the subject matter of the play?
