Forfatter Undersøgelse: Edgar Allan Poe

Op til Halloween er det altid sjovt at få en smag af det mørke, makabre arbejde Edgar Allan Poe. Ud over det uhyggelige emne er hans arbejde højt fejret for sin brug af sprog, billedsprog, symbolik og meget mere.

Forfatterstudier er ikke begrænset til grundskolen. Tag på Poe!

En forfatterstudie er mere end blot at læse historier af samme forfatter. En forfatterstudie kræver at forske forfatteren og læse forskellige værker. Forskning forfatteren før, under eller efter at have læst værkerne. Målet er, at eleverne foretager kritiske vurderinger af forfatterens stil, fremherskende temaer og tegn, og sammenligner disse aspekter på tværs af forskellige litteraturstykker og forbinder ting med forfatterens liv.

Læs alt eller et valg af skrivning

Du kan ikke lære en forfatter godt at kende ved kun at læse et digt eller en bog. Se rækkevidde og ligheder mellem alle digte, noveller og essays. Meget af Edgar Allan Poe's skrivning er i stil med gotisk litteratur.

Nedenfor er Storyboard That guider om digte og noveller af Edgar Allan Poe.

• Fallet af Usher House
• Masken af ​​den Røde Død
• Pit og pendulet
• The Tell-Tale Heart
• The Purloined Letter
• The Raven
• The Cask of Amontillado
• The Bells
• Den sorte kat

Refleksion og reaktion skal ske samtidig med læsning af værkerne. Få eleverne til at tage noter, holde et svarlog, deltage i hyppige diskussioner og / eller korte opgaver.

Afsluttende projekt

Opret storyboards som en del af et afsluttende projekt. Projekter kunne bestå af en præsentation om flere bøger / digte eller en fokuseret præsentation på en enkelt bog eller et digt. Lad eleverne vise frem, hvad de lærte om Edgar Allan Poe!

• Lav en dyb analyse af en af ​​dine foretrukne Poe-fortællinger.
• Sammenlign og kontrast udviklingen af ​​plot af to (eller flere) noveller.
• Identificere og skildre fælles litterære elementer på tværs af værker.
