Do you teach Edgar Allan Poe in October? It’s the perfect time of year for his dark and mysterious stories! 👻 Click the link in bio for a detailed “Tell Tale Heart” lesson plan you can use with middle school students. It’s Common Core aligned and differentiated! 💀 The objective of the lesson is for students to be able to explain how Poe used mood and tone to create suspense within the reader. To reach that objective, the lesson is broken down into activities that occur before (into), during (through), and after (beyond) reading the short story. 🖤 I hope you like it!! ⠀⁣

Who would you be???? This was really hard for me. Typically, my favorite characters have lived a tragic and difficult life 😫. I mean, who would want to be Hester Prynne from The Scarlett Letter or Lennie from Of Mice and Men. Poor Lennie. Anyway, if I got to live one day as a fictional character, I would choose to be Pippi Longstocking or Katniss Everdeen. They have similar character traits, yet they are very different. Plus, having the strength to lift a horse and possessing top-notch archery skills would be super cool. ⠀⁣

Is there a job that they couldn’t pay you enough to do? For me, it’s a beach lifeguard. I could/would never in a million years do that job. I could also NEVER be the person at the zoo that takes care of the tarantulas and reptiles. 🤮🤮🤮⠀⁣
