Hughes was a champion at using language to convey his thoughts. In his poems, he portrayed the African American experience in the mid 1900s. During this time, many African Americans had dreams that went unrealized because of racism. Hughes used poetry to provoke awareness of the many frustrations felt by African Americans.

African American artists and writers, such as Maya Angelou, highly regard poet Jayne Cortez as a voice of her culture and era. Critics have praised Cortez because she “forged connections in her work that help us see how our histories are related.” Much of her poetry addresses social problems in the United States and the world.
Building Background

Cortez was born in Arizona, raised in California, and now
lives in New York City. She has written ten books of
poetry and her poems have been translated into twenty-
eight languages. Additionally, she founded her own
publishing company, Bola Press, in 1972. Cortez’s many
awards and honors include the American Book Award,
the International African Festival Award, and fellowships
from the National Endowment for the Arts and the New
York Foundation for the Arts.

Music is part of both Cortez’s personal and professional life. Her husband, Ornette Coleman, is a jazz musician. Cortez herself is a member of a jazz and funk band, The Firespitters, whose other members include her son, Denardo.

In “Jazz Fan Looks Back,” Cortez displays her impressive knowledge of jazz music and history. In the poem, she cleverly associates several jazz musicians with some of their most popular compositions or tunes that they were known for playing. For example, the first line of the poem contains an allusion to jazz composer and pianist Thelonius Monk and his composition “Criss Cross.”

She also refers to jazz pianist Bud Powell and his
composition “Wail,” saxophonist Sonny Stitt and his
frequent tune “Count Every Star,” and trumpeter Dizzy
Gillespie and his composition “Groovin’ High.” In other
lines, she skillfully relates musicians and their memorable
personalities, behaviors, or talents: she references the
gardenia flower that singer Billie Holiday was famous for
wearing in her hair while performing and the wide vocal
range that singer Dinah Washington could “scream.”

Essays can do the same thing in paragraph form: look back, find significance, and present it in a meaningful and interesting way to an audience. In a reflective essay, you narrate and describe an experience or observation to show its effect on you. To write a successful reflective essay, begin by reading the goals and strategies on the next slide.

In the reflective essay on pages 687–688 of your textbook, Joy Harjo finds her voice in both poetry and prose. As you read this reflection on the writer’s deep, life-changing experience of hearing jazz for the first time, identify the narrative elements in the essay, as well as the ways in which descriptive details make the essay come alive. Pay close attention to the comments in the margin; they point out features that you might want to include in your own reflective essay.

Prewriting
Find a Topic You need to go back into your past to find a topic. Do this by thinking about different periods of your life. Record important experiences that occurred during each time frame. Be sure that you can find some meaning or significance in each event you list. Then choose the specific memory you like best.

List Details Once you have found a topic for writing, list details that seem to bring that experience or observation to life. You can use a cluster diagram, like the one on the next slide, for this purpose. Write your topic in the center and then list the associations, including sensory details, that you have with the experience.

Make a Plan for Writing Your next step is to outline or organize your ideas for writing. One way to do this is by thinking out ideas for the beginning, middle, and end of your reflective essay. Draw a chart, or divide a piece of paper into three rows, and include the following information in each section:
Reflective Essay
Unit 3, Part 3Unit 3, Part 3 WRITING WORKSHOPWRITING WORKSHOP
Prewriting
► Beginning—The beginning of your reflective essay should accomplish the same goals that the beginning of any narrative accomplishes: it may provide important details about the time and place, introduce the characters or people who were important in the experience or observation, or start the action.
Reflective Essay
Unit 3, Part 3Unit 3, Part 3 WRITING WORKSHOPWRITING WORKSHOP
Prewriting
► Middle—The middle of your reflective essay should tell what happened. It may present a series of events or give the details of just one event.
► End—The end of your reflective essay should accomplish two goals: it should bring the action or events to a close in some way, and it should also state the meaning or significance of the experience.

Talk About Your Ideas Meet with a partner. Explain what your topic is and the significance of the experience you have chosen. Then review your organizational plan with your partner. To develop your writing voice, listen to your speaking voice now as you express the meaning of the experience or its effect on you. Work with your partner to identify words and phrases that reflect your voice and then jot them down.

Drafting
Create a Structure As you write your ideas on paper in the form of sentences and paragraphs, remember that your essay should have a clear beginning, middle, and end. In some cases, you may be able to achieve this in just three paragraphs, one for each part of this essay. It is also fine to develop two or more paragraphs for the middle of your reflective essay and to add a full paragraph of reflection after the narrative.

Peer Review When you finish your draft, have a peer reviewer read it. Ask him or her to identify narrative and descriptive elements in your writing. Then ask your reviewer to make suggestions about where to add background information, sensory details, or reflection. Also ask your reviewer to study the traits of strong writing, and to think about how they apply to your work.

Using Sensory Details
Sensory details are words or phrases that appeal to one of the five senses. It is never necessary to use sensory details that appeal to all five senses—especially when they simply do not fit! Sensory details that are appropriate for the time, characters, place, and events enrich any narrative, however. Note how well-chosen sensory details improve the passage from the Workshop Model on the following slides.

Editing and Proofreading
Get It Right When you have completed the final draft of your story, proofread it for errors in grammar, usage, mechanics, and spelling
Correcting: Unclear Pronoun Reference A pronoun must refer to a noun or another pronoun. Often, it refers to a noun that appears earlier in the sentence. To be clear, it should refer to the closest noun or pronoun in the sentence or a previous sentence. On the next slides are examples of unclear pronoun references and corrections.

Connecting to Literature Poet Joy Harjo expresses herself and her Cherokee and Creek heritage through music, art, and words. She has a band called Poetic Justice; she also paints and pursues other visual arts. According to Harjo, she approaches the art of poetry as a visual artist. In fact, any written work can be delivered, changed, or enhanced with the addition of visual aids and music. In this workshop, you will present a reflection that uses visuals to help express the events and their significance.

Planning Your Presentation
Reflection
Presenting an essay orally is not the same thing as simply reading it aloud. It is a chance to use your voice, body language, and visual aids to communicate meaning to an audience in a way that involves both listening and viewing.
• Begin by reading your essay aloud to yourself. As you read, think about your audience. Ask yourself which parts of your essay will be most interesting, which will be hardest to understand, and which might lend themselves to visual interpretation.

• Next, make notes. For example, circle or highlight the details, the dialogue, and the descriptions that you consider most effective and important. Underline anything that you think can be cut, needs more explanation, or will drag down your presentation. Jot down ideas for visuals in the margins.

• Revise your essay to make it a spoken script. In the script, retain all of your best details, dialogue, and descriptions. Expand them and enliven them. Omit details that contribute little to an overall impression or a theme. Add brief, interesting bits of explanation wherever they are needed.
• Finally, make note cards. After you rehearse and learn your presentation, these cards will serve as reminders or cues during your delivery.
