고등학교 언어 예술: 에드거 앨런 포: 기괴한 세계로의 여행

We will learn about the historical context of the time period during which Poe lived and wrote, as well as the fascinating details of his personal life, and the mysterious circumstances surrounding his death. We will discuss the potential correlations between his life and his writing. We will learn literary terms and devices, and identify them writing Poe's writing. As we read, students will learn new vocabulary, use context clues to determine meaning, and use the words in new ways. Students will learn to analyze the writing with respect to theme, tone, style, imagery, metaphor, and other literary concepts. We will learn to write critical analysis responses to specific questions about the writing. Students will learn how to write a critical analysis response essay, and will write a critical analysis essay on the Poe selection of their choice. We will practice revision in class, and the students will complete their essay by week 12. We will read the stories together, and I will provide copies of all of the material. I use a multi-modal approach to differentiate for different learning styles. Students will discuss in groups, participate in interactive activities and games, and practice close, critical reading and writing  The weekly breakdown of the course will proceed s follows:
