Extensions
This unit could be expanded to upper grades by introducing other forms of poetry and using stories and novels that go into more detail. A more in depth study could be done of African American History and how it has affected present day African Americans. Upper elementary students could also to poet studies and they try to write poetry in the style of that poet.
