Exploring Edgar Allan Poe: An 8-Week ELA class for Teens

In this engaging 8-class course, we’ll explore two gothis poems and one gothic short story by Edgar Allan Poe, especially designed for teens who benefit from some extra support.

Teens will get a chance to boost their confidence with reading and text analysis, whilst enjoying learning in a way that feels engaging and accessible. 

Learners will gain a variety of skills and insights, both in terms of their understanding of texts and their ability to express their own viewpoints. 

Through guided readings, discussions, and interactive activities, we’ll explore Poe’s darkly fascinating world, building comprehension and vocabulary along the way. 

Perfect for teens who enjoy mystery, suspense, and a supportive, low-pressure environment that builds confidence and a love of literature!

These small group classes will run even with one enrolled learner, so you have no worries about a class being cancelled. If your learner would prefer not to work in a 1-on-1 class, I am happy to refund the lesson, should no other learners enroll.

The texts covered are age appropriate to provide the right level of engagement from teens. Learners will not be required to write long responses, as this course is designed for those who may need some extra support and/or encouragement. The focus is on confidence and encouragement. All written work will be be completed digitally during the lesson. No paper or pens will be required.

There will be suggested pre-reading of texts, as the lessons will be of most value with this pre-reading completed. However, learners can still access the lessons even without this pre-reading.
