[] This online interactive tool allows your students to create a Venn diagram that represents the connections across the art, music, and poetry of the Harlem Renaissance. Choose a person from the Harlem Renaissance, actor, musician, artist, etc. Dress up as that person and give a 3-5 minute oral report on that person. Think of a costume as a one-person, minimalist skit. You can dress up as a particular person (famous or infamous), or in a particular style. Quite effective is the two-in-one costume, where one costume is worn over another and then removed at the appropriate time, during a "before and after" presentation. [] As an introduction to African-American History Month (February), students will listen to a reading of the book Harlem by Walter Dean Myers to learn more about the places and people that figured prominently in the Harlem Renaissance. Students will research the lives of famous African-Americans of the Harlem Renaissance era. They will write short monologues in the voice of these individuals, and present them as part of a living museum exhibit. Students will also create backdrops to correspond with the figures they have studied, and to complement the performance of the monologue. [] This lesson begins with a summary of the history and chronology of the Harlem Renaissance. Historical background consists of topics such as the northern migration of African-Americans, prohibition, postwar conditions and race relations. During this historical overview, students focus on Harlem as a "Mecca" for African American artists, musicians, and writers. Students read and respond to literary selections that either portray the Harlem jazz scene or were written during the period; they also listen and respond to relevant jazz pieces and view videotapes that illustrate the distinctiveness of the Harlem Renaissance jazz scene. Finally, students demonstrate their understanding of the Harlem Renaissance jazz scene by constructing an exhibit and producing written, artistic and musical interpretations.
