01

What Students Need to Do

Students identify patterns that mark literature from one period, including recurring ideas, common forms, diction, syntax, imagery, and tone. They support each claim with specific textual evidence and historical context.

02

What Mastery Looks Like

Students accurately connect an unfamiliar work to the period using details from the text. They explain how diction, sentence structure, form, and recurring ideas reflect that period.

03

Common Misconceptions

Students may name a topic, such as freedom, without stating the larger message about it. They may confuse genre with style or use historical facts without connecting them to words in the text.

04

How to Assess It

Give students a 150-word excerpt from the selected period. Ask them to identify one theme, one genre clue, and one style clue, citing a phrase for each.

1. 01

   Print six Harlem Renaissance excerpts for pairs to sort by shared theme, genre, and style, then label each group with textual evidence.

2. 02

   Write one paragraph explaining how a Harlem Renaissance author uses voice or imagery to address identity, freedom, or racial injustice.

3. 03

   Play Period Detective by revealing excerpt clues one at a time as teams identify the likely genre, theme, and literary period.

   Compare a Harlem Renaissance poem with modern song lyrics about identity, noting similarities and differences in message, word choice, and rhythm.
