The materials presented in this teaching guide for Negro literature, prepared under an ESEA Title 3 grant, were collected for inclusion into the traditional English curriculum "to enable students to regard the works of Negro writers as a sharing of diversified human experiences." Sample units on the novel, slave narration, short story, poetry, drama, essay, biography, and argumentation and debate illustrate how literature of the Negro may be used in planning lessons. One or more literary works are reviewed in each unit which also lists questions and activities for class discussion. Following each unit are short bibliographies that suggest alternatives to the units presented. (LH)
