I. read EDGAR ALLEN POE'S ANNABEL LEE
- introduce a little background on Poe that might reflect in the poem
- read poem once
- read poem a second time, now trying to make sense of poem
who's narrator? what's the plot? what's going on?
what's the mood or tone and what words give me hints?
how is the poem written? what do I see in the writing style? choice of words?
what figures of speech are apparent or not used?
- read poem out loud with class, teacher led (poems must be read several times to understand)
teacher reads, students repeat with same intonation and voice
- watch video with text and reading for contrast

* each time asking, what's changed in our understanding of the poem?
* what is something new we noticed?
II. view/read VIDEOS of ANNABEL LEE
Interesting version with clips from a video game

- what do we notice? what do we learn/see of certain words & word meanings?
- how does the director/video creator envision the characters in the poem & the story?
- how does music and narration impact the presentation & meaning of the poem?
Musical version of the poem (if we have time)

another VISUAL PORTRAYAL OF POEM WITH READING & MUSIC
-stylistic art, lighter, more bouncy music (less morbid)
- do we think this is the tone and mood that Poe was trying to create?
