Seventh Grade Reading Program With Englewood Public School The 7 1-2 girls from Mr. Weiss' Writing Class traveled to Cleveland Elementary School in Englewood to participate in the first of several community reading and writing activities. The students met with Ms. Salazar's third grade class, in order to help teach them her students about Harlem Renaissance poetry. Our students read and analyzed five poems by Langston Hughes, and provided the third graders with historical background on the Harlem Renaissance. Together they constructed posters, featuring words, phrases, and images that represented the theme, tone, and message of their chosen poems. In the hour that our girls spent there, they established a meaningful rapport with the children and left a lasting impression on the third graders and their most appreciative teacher. We look forward to continuing our relationship with the Englewood public school children in the months to come
