Edgar Allan Poe & Emily Dickenson were both from Massachusetts. Today we will cover Edgar Allen Poe and tomorrow we will cover Emily Dickenson. You can choose to work on only one, or learn about both.
Choose one video of The Raven by Edgar Allan Poe to watch or watch all of them. (FYI, my 8 year old prefers the Darth Vader version.) Pay close attention to the mood & tone.
