In this unit, perfect for Halloween or a larger unit on Poe, students will create an annotated version of Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Raven” and then present or publish their final draft.
This Common-Core-aligned assignment gives students an opportunity to practice doing a close reading. Close reading asks each student to use all they’ve learned about poetry, poetic devices, word choice, symbols, theme, mood, and even research to decipher the meaning of Poe’s most read poem, “The Raven.”
