The New York Public Library developed this collection of works by nineteenth century female African American writers. The resources include fiction, poetry, essays, and more; all are formatted in an easy-to-use on-screen display. Those who teach American literature will find this an interesting supplemental resource.

In the Classroom

Use the poems by Phyllis Wheatley to complement a lesson on supporters of the American Revolution. Wheatley is often a studied character in American History, and her poems often confront American Independence and slavery. Share the poems with students at the end of a lesson, and have them analyze as a class what she is trying to say about either subject. Enhance student learning with a digital classroom discussion (where everyone gets a chance to contribute) using YoTeach, reviewed here, or by digital journal writing using Penzu, reviewed here, or edublog, reviewed here.

Familiarize your students with the types of information included in owners' manuals for common household objects, then challenge them to create their own "manual" for your classroom. After brainstorming the kinds of information that would be crucial for a new student or visitor to know, each student must individually select a topic and create an "entry" for the guide. Not only does this activity help to build a sense of "community" among the students, it also strengthens expository writing skills. An excellent "beginning of the year" lesson! Aligned to Standards.
