History as Heartbeat
Researching history can be a way to access the past and connect it to the present and the future. But the research has to mean something. It has to become personal. "History is your own heartbeat" as the poet Michael S. Harper says. History, especially your personal history, is a fundamental source and shaper of your ideas. So go ahead and mine it.

Miller Williams, "The Curator"
Complete the following assignment for homework:
Do some personal research on your family history. Interview family members and record what you hear in a journal. You will use this information as inspiration for a poem in the future. Come to class prepared! This assignment leads to the lesson I have planned for Wednesday :)
