In this 6 week class, students will read 3 of Edgar Allan Poe's most famous short stories ("The Tell-Tale Heart," "The Cask of Amontillado," and "The Black Cat"). After a close reading and teacher directed but student led discussion, students will work on a unique literary project based on each work. Edgar Allan Poe is a brilliant example of the American author, and I am so eager to introduce students to this legend of Gothic literature.Learning Goals

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hi! I'm Mrs. Ginny, and I am so very excited to guide your student through the world of books! In regards to my teaching experience, I taught 7th grade English for two years and 7th-12th English for six years. I currently tutor with three tutoring companies and offer private lessons at my home.
I have a M.Ed. in English Education from William Carey University, a B.A. in English with a minor in speech communications from William Carey University, and an A.A. degree from Jones College. Before leaving the public and private school system, I held an AA teaching license.
Every time I read a new book, I feel as though I have made a new friend, and I hope to help your student see reading this way. I am extremely passionate about the written word and will use this energy to foster the bookworm in your student!
On a side note- I love spending time with my family, reading aloud to my daughter, gardening, journaling, and READING!Reviews
