Feb. 7, 8, 11 & 12

Feb. 7: I assigned a reading guide on the Harlem Renaissance and collected the 1920s packets.

Feb. 8: 3rd period attended a Spare Change assembly, zero period was assigned the reading guide.

Feb. 11: Students performed the blues songs that they'd written, and I introduced the Harlem/Delta culminating project (due Friday).

Essential Questions for Project:
1. How was black culture in the Mississippi Delta in the 1920s different from black culture in Harlem in the 1920s?
2. How did the jazz and blues music of the time reflect that difference?

Feb. 12: Students worked on Harlem/Delta project.
