Now go to our class collection: Begin by reviewing the poems we will discuss in class this week, by Derek Walcott and Kamau Brathwaite.

* Apply links, images, or multimedia to help show us something mentioned in the poem, or help explain an interesting source or context. When your images aren't from a commons resource like WikiCommons, please provide a brief description and a link to indicate their source. One or two images is probably sufficient for a single annotation.

* Identify a connection with a related poem or related material: and provide a link.

*Provide context.

* Comment on the structure, form, and literary devices.

* Point out something of interest. or, comment and expand on each other's annotations.

For extra credit, annotate more and more passages, more points for quality over quantity, and for engaging with others annotations.
