Suggested ideas:
Listen to the audio clips of music. Students complete response journal writing. Talk about the mood of the music. How does the music reflect the culture of Harlem Renaissance? Compare/contrast Harlem-era jazz with current jazz

Before the Unit

• Create a list of known artists of the Harlem Renaissance
