1 This unit is somewhat time consuming to set up. Read the instructions carefully and follow them.  It does not make the water very quickly, but thatâs because it has such an extensive filtration system. The first time you use the Zen countertop water filter, it may take 12 hours to fill the basin. After that the time will be considerably less, but may still take 3 or more hours.
Collect images and sound clips of art, music, and poetry from the Harlem Renaissance to share with students. These should be played and studied for the rest of this unit. Students can be invited to bring in materials as well. Preview BrainPOP's Harlem Renaissance movie and plan out where to pause for discussions. Hang the map of NYC to refer to throughout the lesson.
