Writing our own annotations......

All poems included in the anthology project must be accompanied by annotations. Consider them your opportunity to explain why you chose to include certain poems. Don't forget to use SPECIFIC evidence from text (the poem) to strengthen your reasoning. 

Look what we found.....


Students read text versions of Martin Luther King's "I Have a Dream" speech, and identified examples of poetic devices.

The example above focuses on personification, hyperbole, metaphors and antithesis.


The writing above focuses on literary allusions and metaphors. 

Antithesis made easy!!!


See how many examples of antithesis you can spot as you watch the video and listen to the lyrics!
