"I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel." - Maya Angelou
"I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings" is my favorite poem by Maya Angelou. It is a wonderful poem about rising up under oppression and keeping your spirit alive - a great message for everyone to keep in mind. It also has amazing rhythm.
Poetry writing activities:
1. Compare Angelou's poem "Phenomenal Woman" to Lauryn Hill's "The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill" or another song with the theme of pride in your identity.
2. Any of the ideas listed under "Evaluation" on this Web site would be fun.
