Surveying Afro-American literature--mainly from the Harlem Renaissance to the present--and examining materials and resources usually at the elementary, secondary, and college levels, this course culminates in the development of an individual or group term project. These projects have generally consisted of the following types; a lesson plan for the specific grade level on which the student is focusing, an annotated bibliography of resource materials for use in teaching, a multi-media presentation, and a creative project designed by the student in consultation with the instructor. When possible, an additional and valuable facet of the course is the presence of a black scholar-critic who may both give an all-university lecture and visit the classroom, engaging in dialogue with the students.
