Project Description: Hi welcome to our project! Mallory and I be discussing “The Tell-Tale Heart by Edgar Allen Poe. We are going to use a lesson plan to explain the story. The first slide is an initiation, which will include a video showcasing one of the important lessons in the story. We want the students to not only be able to answer the questions but find references in the story. We want you to tell us how the story makes you feel. As the PowerPoint goes on, we will discuss three intelligences: Spatial, Interpersonal, and Interpersonal. We have several activities which should help you guys understand the intelligences as well as get you thinking about whether you exhibit any of them or not. We have the instructions for each activity planned out on the PowerPoint. The students should be able to develop their own thoughts about the narrator and any other characters involved in the story. To get a better idea of Poe’s style of writing they can reference other pieces of his literature. In our lesson plan, we discussed The Cask of Amontillado. They may be some recurring themes and lessons that you can in the story. Essentially, by the end of the lesson we want the students to be able to comprehend gothic literature and works from other romanticists like Walt Whitman. They should be able to do this independently with little help from the teacher or a classmate. I hope you enjoyed the lesson!
