The African-American Poets: Brooks and Hughes wiki was deployed in Professor Farah Griffin's Spring 2006 undergraduate course, "African American Literature," which explores the development of black writing in the United States since the Harlem Renaissance. Within the collaborative Web site, students are asked to conduct both a textual and extra-textual
analysis of poems by Langston Hughes and Gwendolyn Brooks by selecting key sections, phrases and words of the works to annotate as well as authoring and categorizing relevant discourse, such as the cultural context, social significance and relationship of the texts to other literary movements.
