In this Amanda Gorman lesson plan, students examine the poetry of Amanda Gorman, who was chosen to read her poem "The Hill We Climb" at President-elect Joe Biden’s inauguration on Jan. 20, 2021. Gorman’s poem complemented Biden’s message and themes of “unity.”

Sixto, can you explain to us why you think this poem is divisive?
This is NOT a divisive poem. It's beautifully structured & the lesson plan is well-thought out. Unfortunately, this is not an English lesson plan. I'd love to see one on the poetic structure of the poem: the alliteration, the consonance and assonance used, the imagery, the allusions, etc.
I loved the poem and I shared it with my history classes. I plan on printing out only chunks of the poem so that my students can review some portions of the poem without being overwhelmed with the multiple meanings found in most of the stanzas of the poem.
This poem is so beautiful! I can’t get enough of it. What a great way to make students reflect on the present, past and future.
A divisive poem under the theme of "unity".
