Description

Is your Edgar Allan Poe unit as dusty as an ancient cask of Amontillado? Spice it up with this creative criminal investigation of the murder that occurs in this short story by Poe. Your students will become the investigative team with this activity as they search for textual evidence to build a criminal case.

They will examine the textual evidence for characterization, plot, and setting, look at the protagonist through a psychological lens, make inferences, and present all their information as a murder board. Not only is this a great graphic organizer, but it adds an air of reality to the project that makes it more exciting.

This project allows your students to become intimately familiar with the text and its characters. They will have so much fun that they will forget they are dissecting the text.
