This 27-slide lesson explores Langston Hughes’ poem, ‘Aunt Sue’s Stories’.
The lesson includes an introduction to Hughes and his cultural significance, and asks students to deconstruct the meaning and effect of stories and storytelling. The poem’s language, themes, structure and rhythm are deconstructed, and questions and tasks are featured for students throughout the lesson.
At the end of the lesson, after a series of focused questions on the poem, students are asked to produce a piece of creative writing inspired by Hughes’ poem. This could be set as a homework task if lesson time is short.
This lesson is ideal for KS3 pupils and deals with the important history of African-American people, as well as more general themes of identity, memory, and ancestry.
