Lesson: Poe in Pop Culture
Content:
Students will read multiple stories/poem by Edgar Allan Poe
Students will also rely on their previous reading of Edgar Allan Poe content from previous English classes
Students will be introduced to Edgar Allan Poe with a virtual tour of his home and have to find elements from his stories/poems. This will give the students an example of the type of presentation required.
Social/Emotional
Through the JamBoard, the teacher will evaluate and discuss with the students their ideas
Students will post examples from modern literature, movies, stories, or graphic novels that show examples of gothic literature
Students and teacher will discuss how modern literature and movies have improved/stayed the same through the gothic elements
Question
Students will evaluate the elements of gothic literature through a PowerPoint
Through discussion boards (JamBoard), the students will put the examples of each gothic element that Poe displays in his different stories/poem
Evaluation
Students will create a Google Slides presentation that includes the gothic elements while explaining how the modern day and original writings are connected.
Students will share their presentation to the class through an open forum.
Student Generated Content:
Students will research some form of modern-day version of one of EAP's stories/poems. This can come from anything they read or watch on TV.
Students will have approximately a week to create this project, discuss with each other through discussion boards and send questions to the teacher
Reflection
Students will evaluate each other's anonymous presentations for all of the gothic elements. Students will be looking for the overall feel of the presentation to reflect a gothic appeal.
When completed, the students will be able to identify gothic elements in a cold-reading text from EAP.
Students will fill out a Google Form, anonymously, telling the teacher what he/she has learned, what could be better explained, and what didn't work
