“The Cyclops in the Ocean” by Nikki Giovanni is a favorite for teaching allusion. To understand the poem, students have to understand the Cyclops allusion. But students also have to understand Giovanni’s context for writing the poem. It’s a great piece for discussing the intersection of history and literature. The poem is hard to find online, so I’m sharing the first page of the activity I use with my students. Follow the link here, make a copy for your Drive, and you’ll have the first page for free.
