maya angelou

Today in Mr.Rease class we recieved a packet of poems all by Maya Angelou. We read two poems out the packet. The first poem we read was titled "The Mothering Blackness". In the poem "The Mothering Blackness" we discussed and analyzed what the poem was meant. We asked questions such as who is she and who is ahe running from? To close out this poem and move on to the next poem we decided to do 3 themes one for the mother, one for the daughter, and one for the home. The next poem by Maya was titled "The Black Family Pledge". In this poem we read that the black generation should be untied as one and shouldnt turn on each other up. As key notes in class we made a T chart on the positives and negatives of the black generation.
