Read the poem "Phenomenal Woman." For mature students, create a discussion about the imagery used by Angelou, her style, and emotion to portray the overall theme and message of the poem. Younger students can also listen to the poem. Afterward, prompt students to draw an amazing woman that is in their life and the traits that make her so great.
