Aristotle's triad

In 'Writing with passion', students use protest poetry and speeches as inspiration for their own protest writing. In 'Single Poet Study: Maya Angelou', students look in depth at the writing of a poet who is synonymous with writing as protest; in particular at the ways in which she used her poetry to voice support for the Civil Rights Movement.
