To create imagery-linked poems
1. Highlight in different colors different kinds of [|imagery] (sight, sound, touch, smell, taste). 2. Select three of the most vivid sensory images from the poem and highlight electronically. 4. Go to insert hyperlink. 5. Find picture in[| a creative commons site] 6. Begin bibliography on [|easybib]. 7. Before you finish the citation, add annotation by clicking the annotation button. 8. Put the annotated bibliography on the bottom of the hyperlinked poem page. Example we were working on in class:

Outcome: Upload your hyperlinked poem and annotated bibliography to dropbox. You will be sharing these with the class on Friday.
