  2. Getting Started • Open up your Poetry Daily Work document and label the top “Langston Hughes” • Open up to page 566 and read his biography • List 3 FACTS you see in this biography

  3. “Madam and the Rent Man” • Turn to page 561 and read the poem silently • Now turn to a neighbor and ONE person read just the first stanza (which is lines….???) • What “tone” of voice does the rent man use? • How do you know? • Now the other person reads the second stanza (which is lines…?) • What “tone” of voice does the woman/tenant use? • How do you know?

  4. “Madam and the Rent Man” • Continue taking turns reading the different stanzas. • When you finish, assign one person the role of the rent man and the other person the role of the madam/tenant. • Practice reading the poem with the appropriate tone/attitude for each part. • I’ll be asking for volunteers! 

  5. Tone/Mood • What do you think is the Tone/Attitude that Langston Hughes used in this poem? • Why do you say that? Provide 2 lines/words that prove this tone. • What was the mood that you were in when you read it? • Remember, just because the tenant was angry, doesn’t mean that it’s an angry poem. How did it sound as you read it?

  6. Theme Paragraph • Open up your “Theme Paragraph” in your Google Drive • Look over BOTH the feedback you received and where you scored on the rubric • Make the necessary changes to improve your paragraph
