Today, on Halloween, we will honor Edgar Allen Poe.
We will read the “The Tell Tale Heart” aloud in class. Students annotated the story as Borg explained it and wrote a summary.
We listened to “The Black Cat” in class Tuesday, 11/01. Students took notes and highlighted evidence of the following and wrote a summary. Here is a copy of the story.
- madness
- guilt
- alcoholism
- “supernatural” vs. coincidence
- sin/evil
- personality or character changes
Students will also read “The Pit & the Pendulum” this week.
They should expect to take a quiz over these stories Thursday or Friday.
