Creative Writing While Learning About Important African Americans
Differences are not intended to separate, to alienate. We are different precisely in order to realize our need for one another.” These words penned by the late Bishop Desmond Tutu are the foundation of this on-going class. All learners are invited to come and learn about the literature and/or writings of prominent African Americans.
All learners will read and discuss literature by and about historic, literary and popular culture African Americans. This class is fun and meant to acquaint learners with the individual through books by or about the individual. Learners are not required to read the books but may read the suggested books, it they like. The class is meant to familiarize the students with the individual and is not an in-depth dive into the individual’s lives.
Each week a prominent African American individual will be highlighted and discussed. Literature by and about the individual will be shared with the class. There will be a brief time of Socratic questioning, followed by a creative writing assignment that students may share with one another.
The class will be light-hearted and fun, since the goal is to simply familiarize learners with the individuals while getting learners to activate their creativity. Creative writing genres to be explored include poetry, plays, fiction, nonfiction, articles, music, etc.
It is important to reiterate learners will get a cursory view of the individuals, as much of this class focuses on writing. o prior learning is needed of the individuals from class -to-class; each weekly class is distinct from the other so learners may join at any week.
Teacher PowerPoints and Youtube videos may be used in the class.
Example of first weekly class schedule:
Individual-Rudy Bridges:
• Brief biography of the person including a picture so student will recognize the leader- Teacher PowerPoint presentation
• Brief selected reading from books by and about Rudy Bridges
• Open-ended Socratic questions such as ; Why do you think Rudy Bridges was so important to history? How do you think Rudy Bridges was able to ignore the hostile crowd? Why should we know about Rudy Bridges?
• Creative Writing exercise; Write a letter to Rudy Bridges encouraging her to go back to school after she was yelled at by the crowds. Share your letter with the class.
