One important Poet (need to choose two)
Langston Hughes was one of the most important writers and thinkers of the Harlem Renaissance, which was the African American artistic movement in the 1920s that celebrated black life and culture. Hughes's creative genius was influenced by his life in New York City's Harlem, a primarily African American neighborhood.

More Poets and Background on Harlem Renaissance
The origins of the Harlem Renaissance lie in the Great Migration of the early 20th century, when hundreds of thousands of black people migrated from the South into dense urban areas that offered relatively more economic opportunities and cultural capital.
It was, in the words of editor, journalist, and critic Alain Locke, “a spiritual coming of age” for African American artists and thinkers, who seized upon their “first chances for group expression and self-determination.”
Harlem Renaissance poets such as Langston Hughes, Claude McKay, and Georgia Douglas Johnson explored the beauty and pain of black life and sought to define themselves and their community outside of white stereotypes.
Info on Writers: McKay, Weldon, Johnson
Poetry from the Harlem Renaissance reflected a diversity of forms and subjects. Some poets, such as Claude McKay, used culturally European forms—the sonnet was one––melded with a radical message of resistance, as in “If We Must Die.” Others, including James Weldon Johnson and Langston Hughes, brought specifically black cultural creations into their work, infusing their poems with the rhythms of ragtime, jazz, and blues.
The collection that follows offers a sampling of poetry published during this period, along with essays by and about Harlem Renaissance writers and audio recordings and discussions of their work. You can also browse all of our Harlem Renaissance poets here. Website used: https://www.poetryfoundation.org/collections/145704/an-introduction-to-the-harlem-renaissance

Good score for this class 20-% or below.
Use your own words doing the summary. Quote one or two times.
Be objective, not subjective. Your opinions go into last question four.
How to Paraphrase
Putting a short passage from another author or speaker into your own style
Paraphrasing should not alter the ideas of the original author or speaker
Paraphrasing can be shorter or longer than the original passage (but is usually the same length or longer)
Paraphrasing requires a citation at the end of a paragraph (last name, #) that contains any info about your topic. When in doubt, use the text.
Summarizing Tips
Take a long passage or whole document written by someone else and reduce it to main points in your own style
Shorter than the original: 1/3 to 1/5 main ideas and thesis statement
Should not alter the ideas of the original; keep ideas neutral
Use action verbs to introduce main points and remain objective
Include the thesis statement or the main point the author makes. This could be the first sentence, or the last, or may not be stated; you may need to write out the thesis.
Summary Guidelines
Make sure you are accurate to the original. It is unethical to report that someone said something he/she didn’t. Give an overview (how long is this piece? How many sections?
Make sure the main points are in your own words and include a quote if you cannot rewrite something.
Cite at the end of each paragraph, even if you continue using the same source!
When to quote
The style of the original is impressive; usually one sentence; don’t quote a quote.
The author has credibility that will impress your reader
You are going to analyze the wording of the original to make one of your points; don’t quote a quote (very rarely)
Include the page number where you found the quote in the citation (Jones, 2, p. 110)
Signal Phrases or Author Tags
A signal phrase lets your reader know when you are about to use someone else’s ideas (QPS)
Sample signal phrases:
According to Taylor (1),
Jones (2) writes:
As Frank (3) argues,…
Jones believes, understands, explains, describes. Make list of action verbs to include as you are writing.
Use a Thesaurus as you write.
Things to Remember when Writing
Whether you quote, paraphrase or summarize, you should cite the ideas you get from your resources in your papers. Cite a quote right after the “” (Frank, 1)
Cite at the end of paragraphs: 8-10-15 sentences; two or three on a page; (Frank, 1)
End of next paragraph (Frank, 1)
