Description

Overview:
The short story "The Cask of Amontillado," by Edgar Allan Poe is an effective venue for teaching English I literary terms. The following lesson plan is designed to engage the reader in a deeper than superficial reading of the text. It is also designed to elicit discussion and written critical-thinking responses. This lesson assumes that the literary terms have already been introduced. However, if they have not, the teacher may use this lesson to introduce these terms in the context of the literature.

CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RL.8.10: Limited (1)

Teacher is generating the questions. This is NOT independent comprehension.

CCSS.ELA-Literacy.SL.8.1: Strong (2)

Only one whole class, teacher directed discussion, teacher assigned questions.

I chose this lesson to review because of the literary value of the text selected. However, I was disappointed because it was a very teacher directed lesson.
