Group discussion: Themes, Images, Ideas• Choose a “SCRIBE”—this is the writer who will listen for ideas
that the group shares or that he/she thinks are MOST important. The scribe’s role is to record!
• As a group, each person should share your reflection & notes: What kinds of themes, images, ideas have you noted.
• SCRIBE—pick out ideas you think are most important (develop a curated list). Share with the group, edit as a group, and be ready to present.

Applying the conversations to the poems
• As a group, share your research findings. Any intersections? Links? Connections?
• What is one common conversation you share?
• Once you have located a common conversation on Hughes’ work, select a poem that you think most exemplifies this conversation (or contributes to this conversation).
• Prepare a summary of the poem (process from last time), prepare a close reading of a couple of verses or passages within the poem (even a piece of language or image), and create a set of questions for the poem.
