Class experience
US Grade 5 - 8
The Tell-Tale Heart is a short story written by 19th century author Edgar Allan Poe. The story depicts an unnamed protagonist who murders an old man. The rationale the unnamed killer gives for the crime is an evil eye. In this class we will read Poe's famous story aloud, discuss it, complete a worksheet, and we will draw our own conclusions as to the aftermath of this chilling story. I will encourage participation among all learners who attend. This is one of my favorite horror stories and it...
It is my hope that students will walk away from this class with a greater understanding and appreciation for Edgar Allen Poe's work. I would also like to engage critical thinking skills among learners.

Homework Offered
Please read the story prior to attending class. Although we will go over the story again in class it is very important to have the benefit of multiple perspectives. We should also have the story as fresh in our minds as possible in order to discuss it in thorough detail.0 - 1 hours per week outside of class

A violent murder is described in detail in this story and the unnamed protagonist very likely suffers from an undiagnosed psychological disorder. Despite its mature themes this horror story is considered a literary classic and this story has been read in public school classrooms across the United States. If you are not comfortable with mature topics this class might not be the right fit for your child. If this is something you are comfortable with then I welcome you to enroll your child today.
