 * Publish your poem on the WWI Poetry Wiki.
 * Find at least five photographs, paintings, or posters that reflect the content, tone, or theme of your poem or specific sections of your poem.

Inserting Images
If doing this project at home, you can use the Visual Editor and buttons at the top of the editing screen. However, at school we must use the Text Editor.
 * 1) Find an image.
 * 2) **Control-Click** the image, move mouse down to **Copy Image Location**.
 * 3) Go back to your poem in the WWI Poetry Wiki, hit edit.
 * 4) Click where you want to place your image and hit the image button.
 * 5) If the picture is big, you will want to change the width to around 300 pixels.
 * 6) You must cite each image used at the bottom of the poem - do this by creating a list of links at the bottom of the page.
