English 8

We started off today with silent reading and students worked on their 'Thank You Ma'am' letters. After that, we had a mini-lesson on Edgar Allen Poe; I showed a Prezi outlining his life and works, and we watched a Simpsons parody of his poem "The Raven". We finished off class by reading his story "Tell-Tale Heart".

Reminders:

• Thank You Ma'am Letters (plan, rough copy and good copy): due Tuesday, Sept. 22, 2015
