Poe
Today we began covering the Edgar Allan Poe short story "The Cask of Amontillado". The students have questions to answer that go along with the story. We will finish it on Monday.
We will spend the next few weeks covering gothic horror stories. The students will have to create their own horror story using the elements found in the stories we read.
