Using Piktochart or Canva, you will each make an infographic poster analyzing at least one Harlem Renaissance poem and introducing it to the NYIT community. We will print and post these infographics around campus.
Select one at least one poem, such as those by Langston Hughes (““The Negro Speaks of Rivers” or “The Weary Blues,” ) or Claude McKay (“If We Must Die,” “America,” “Subway Wind,” “On Broadway,” or “The Tropics in New York”). For context, quote or paraphrase from at least one prose text we read (“When the Negro Was in Vogue,” or “Harlem Literati in the Twenties”), citing it according to MLA style. You are also welcome to select a poem that we did not read or address a theme in more than one poem. You can choose how to design your infographic, giving it a theme and focus. Make sure to analyze the way the poem makes meaning, including its word choice, form, and style. Your poster can include portions of the poem that you discuss. While you are not required to consult additional sources, you must cite all sources that you consult, including webpages. Use parenthetical citations to acknowledge when you are quoting or citing others’ ideas. It is plagiarism to use others’ words or ideas without citing them. Before printing, consult a peer for feedback and the instructor for approval.
