Students read Poe stories--"The Black Cat," "The Pit and the Pendulum," "The Cask of Amontilado," or "The Masque of the Red Death" and compared them to the 5 elements of American gothic.
Then we watched a Poe powerpoint and took notes.
Additional info TBA--need to scan a document to complete this day's blog.

Today we covered grade updates and dealt with any papers that needed to be passed back. Just FOUR more weeks until grades will be finalized. Late work from the first 10 weeks will no longer be accepted at this point.
Students were able to use the rest of the period to complete the Gothic short story comparison that we began on Thursday.
Don't remember it? Click HERE.
If you were absent, you need to get copies of the stories from Mrs. Evans at school.

We went to the library for the whole class period to allow students to work at the tables or computers as they gathered information for their poster... OUTLINES for the character essay were due by the end of the period.
Requirements for the poster:
- a title that clearly indicates the TITLE of the book and the ALLUSION you are presenting
- at least 3 quotes that demonstrate how your research is related to the book's allusion(s)
- at least 3 quotes from your internet research (CITED SOURCES!!!) that explain the allusion
- at least 2 paragraphs that explain, in your own words, the connections between the historical event or literary reference and the book you are reading
- visuals that help clarify the information (again, don't forget to cite your sources)
