In this class of Strange History we’ll look at the life and writings of Edgar Allen Poe, a personal favorite of this Strange History teacher! We’ll look at the life of his very interesting parents, his young life being informally adopted by the Allen family, and his mysterious, tragic death. Oh, and of course we’ll look through some of his most classic works like The Raven and The Tell-Tale Heart. Class structure is a quick meet and greet time, followed by a PowerPoint class (where students mute their microphones), followed by a question and answer period! Class is typically around an hour long, but can go long depending on how many questions the students have at the end of the class, but you’re always welcome to leave when you need!
