Scholars listen to a reading and answer probing questions about If We Must Die by Claude McKay. Readers annotate their personal copies of the poem as they discuss its figurative language, vocabulary, and meaning. They then transfer their learning to analyze the figurative language and meaning in The Narrative Life of Fredrick Douglass.
