We started off the day with some notes on pronouns (as a continuation of our 'parts of speech' unit). Additionally, we went over the questions for "The Veldt". After that, as an introduction to our next story, I showed a Prezi outlining the life and works of Edgar Allen Poe. I even showed the Simpsons adaptation of his most famous work, "The Raven". We proceeded to read "Tell-Tale Heart" in Sightlines and discussed the story. We also started a worksheet, but we will finish it tomorrow during class. Students spent the rest of class at the cultural fair.
