During Spring 2021, four students in grades 4 – 6 all were in a book club reading Finding Langston. The story was about a boy named Langston and his father after they move to Chicago from Alabama after his mother passed away and Langston finding the writer Langston Hughes. Along with reading the story the students learned about figurative language such as similes, metaphors, and personification as well as making personal connections to the text. They would participate in discussions on both topics along with what was happening in the story. During one of our discussions we had a great time discussing the differences between similes and metaphors along with trying to find one as we read. We ended the book with a look into the time period of when the boy was living and an introduction to who Langston Hughes was.
