We've been working on poetry, so in honor of Halloween, we read Edgar Allen Poe's The Raven.
I read the first stanza to them and they listened for alliteration.
Then, we watched two videos on teacher tube.
The first was with an actor (Christopher Walkin?) reading aloud the poem with spooky sound effects. The first video did a great job at establishing an eerie mood, similar to the true intention of Poe.
The second was the animated Simpson's version:
Students took notes on the video:
Then compared and contrasted the multimedia elements in the presentations.
They had a great time with the poems :)
