I think there are nuanced differences in how Angelou and Dunbar captured the cage bird. Yes both capture pain and suffering and both use signing as a tool for freedom but the images of flight and soaring in Angelou's poems...not sure yet but it hits me differently. #edu307

Everyone in #edu307 always drawn to the hope in the poems, that one line. Yet they also share a common rage and repeat phrases of violence. Dunbar wrote hit poem first, he was the son of a slave.

#edu307 I provide prompts for your blogs but no rubric (beyond our criteria and guiding questions) for it should be a launching pad not a formula....If you need something CRAVE truth. Connect to the author, Restate the question (interwoven in your narrative) , Answer the question, define Vocabulary, provide Evidence and Examples... Even that makes me worry I

#edu307 these poems are deeply connected http://blackpower.web.unc.edu/2017/04/maya-angelou-the-power-of-the-written-word/ Aneglou named her autobiography for the last word in "Sympathy."

#edu307 this is a strong piece of writing. In fact just because I offer a prompt in #edu307 does not mean you need to treat the assignment as an essay response. A great post can define itself. the audience would know what question you are answering without it ever being asked.
