Edgar Allan Poe 1.2

Edgar Allan Poe 1.2
Do Now: What are the seven deadly sins?  What other archetypal things come in 7s (example: 7 days of the week)?

Objectives:

  • Identify Poe's use of color imagery, personification, and symbolism in the story
  • Use a visual medium to demonstrate reading comprehension
  • Connect one of Poe's methods to a central meaning of the work


Agenda:
1. Do Now
2. MAP: Using half a sheet of easel paper, draw a map of the masquerade ball.  Hint: be sure to reread the descriptions of the rooms to get the colors, shape, windows, and objects correct.
3. In each room on your map, write a word or two that is associated with that color.
4. Consider these questions: Why does Poe have 7 rooms for the Masquerade ball?  What is the importance of the number 7?  What is the symbolism of the clock?
5. ASSERTION STATEMENT: In one sentence assertion statement, connect one literary device to  Poe’s central message is in this short story.
Template: Poe's use of [literary device] reveals [central message].

Summarizer: How did drawing the map of the rooms help unlock Poe's meaning?
