Summary:
All Mr. Ward wanted to do was encourage participation and what began as an essay soon turned into something much more meaningful.
An ordinary poetry assignment develops into something beyond imagination when it motivates students to reflect on their lives in a poetic form.
The short chapters detail a particular character and the life they lead followed by the poem they wrote to share during their Friday poetry slam session.
Through the sharing of poetry students get a sense that, even though they don’t feel like they “belong,” there are others around them coping with hardships too.

Teach or Circulate and Why?
Teach.
This book has a character that just about everyone can relate to.
With the varied cultures presented, the short and easy to read chapters about the student’s lives, and the poetry being shared, there’s something in it for everyone.
While some content is mature, a simple discussion ahead of time will alleviate any uneasiness.

Essential Question:
Will Mr. Ward’s poetry slam session encourage social change as it brings a school and community together?

Bronx Masquerade, by Nikki Grimes, is a great book, especially if you like poetry. It tells the story of 18 teenagers, all struggling through their senior year at high school. Their English teacher decides to have Open Mic Friday, where the students bring poetry to share. Pretty soon, the whole school gets wind of Open Mic Friday, and kids from other classes start to join in. In the beginning, most of the teens don't even know each other, but in the end, friendships are made, and the teens get a new point of view on life.

Even though I don't really read poetry, this book made me want find a book of poetry, and curl up on the couch to read! Nikki Grimes is a very talented author, and weaves the story wonderfully.

Answer 3

Bronx Masquerade is a novel written in 18 voices. It follows a classroom of high school students over the course of a year, exploring who they are behind the masks they wear, and using poetry to do it.

Bronx has no single main character, in the traditional sense, but there is one character whose point of view is represented throughout: Tyrone Bittings. Tyrone serves as Greek chorus, commenting on every character in the book. He helps the reader connect the dots from character to character and from one subplot to the next. Each character has his own story to tell, but Tyrone is privy to them all.As far as the main theme, once again, Bronx leaves the reader scratching his head. There are many themes: the power of friendship, don’t judge a book by its cover, believe in yourself, the grass is not always greener, and more. Each small story has its own theme, or core idea. However, the overriding theme of the novel is the power of poetry, specifically the power poetry, the power of poetry as a means of self-expression, as a strategy for shaping community, and as a tool for teaching us that we are all alike beneath the skin. We all bleed when cut, and when everything else is stripped away, the greatest common denominator is the human heart. That’s what Bronx Masquerade is all about

Answer 4

setting : about something in the Bronx I guess...

main Character Description : he might be the good guy...

Minor Characters : obviously not important enough to consider...hence why they are minor.

Statement of the problem : they must be going through some rough times...

event 1: I had an Oreo cookie,,,it was good
event 2: something happened...but it was too dark to tell
event 3: I'm getting hungry...a good sandwich could hit the spot
event 4: somebody found waldo
event 5: Rosie Odonnald...is actually a guy (I didn't say it would be a surprising event).
event 6: some kid needs to learn to do their own work.

Statment of the solution: do it yourself
themes/values: a double cheeseburger really does hit the spot.

Answer 5

try this website
( I googled it ;-D)

here is some thing i found:
Eighteen students in a high school English class open up and take the risky challenge of self-revelation in weekly poetry sessions. Through their poetry and narratives, they share their most intimate thoughts about themselves and one another, their lives, and what lies beneath the skin and beyond the masquerade.

Thats all i can think of but you can google again i would suggest googling:
Bronx Masquerade; setting thats what i did .
you can also google:
Bronx Masquerade; statement of solution
" " ; main character description
" " ; themes/ values brought out of book

We aren't doing YOUR homework. Even if the book is boring to the max, do your own homework! That way if the teacher askes you about some minor details, you can answer the question without embarrassing yourself

Answer 9

maybe you could read the book instead of asking people who are on the internet all day. Do your own homework, it's not right to cheat. PS thanks for the two points :)

Answer 10

Hell, even if I knew the answers, I'd want more than 10 points..that's alot of work.
