Monday, 10/26/15

Agenda
Poe - “The Raven” (p. 326)
Today, we watched two videos about Poe and "The Raven" (see links below). Afterwards, students were to write one paragraph about what they saw. Each paragraph should include (1) five facts about Poe or “The Raven” that they learned from the videos and (2) commentary re: the Simpsons video’s use of satire and what it means (due at the end of the class period).

Afterwards, students were to begin reading “The Raven” in class. If the students do not finish reading it, it becomes homework (along with the plot chart).

(1) Finish reading “The Raven” (p. 326).
(2) Create a plot chart for “The Raven” including: (a) exposition, (b) conflict, (c) rising action, (d) climax, (e) falling action, and (f) resolution due tomorrow, 10/27/15.
