Introduce your class to Edgar Allan Poe with a series of mostly self-guided tasks and assignments. Class members follow the list of tasks, starting by watching a video with background information and ending with a compare-and-contrast essay. The short stories "The Tell Tale Heart" and "The Masque of the Red Death" are linked on the page. The listed tasks are for pupils only, so you will need to determine what happens during class and what happens as homework.
