Harlem Renaissance Lesson Plan: Creating Interactive Presentations and Non-Fiction Comics

Submitted by: Allisyn Levy

3-5, 6-8, 9-12

In this lesson plan, which is adaptable for grades 3-12, students use BrainPOP resources to research, evaluate, and synthesize information about the Harlem Renaissance from a variety of resources. Students will work in groups to demonstrate an understanding of the Harlem Renaissance by creating an interactive presentation that teaches their peers. They will also create individual non-fiction comics to demonstrate an understanding of the effects of the Harlem Renaissance on African American culture.

    I like the idea of pausing the movie for students to take notes on what they might already know about the topic. I might also try it where they watch the movie once, then have 2 minutes to write what they’ve learned, and then watch the movie again.
