  1. IOC Review: How to Prep This afternoon you will engage in… 15 minutes of annotation and outlining Sharing your notes with a peer, and then the full review group. Discussing connections between this extract and stories by Edgar Allan Poe

  2. After you annotate… Create an outline that clearly delineates the procedure you would follow if you were delivering a commentary on this extract. Consider the guiding questions as you construct this outline, but don’t limit yourself to only discussing those topics.

  3. A Sample Outline Introduction: TACT Paraphrasethe events of the extract Themes – the haunting of a lover by his memories of his lost love; the tragic death of the beautiful woman Motifs that support it: 1. death/dying/ending 2. darkness/black 3. dreams/echoes

  4. A Sample Outline (continued) Characterization of the speaker as the typical Gothic hero: highly imaginative, emotional, and burdened by sorrow - readers who have experienced a loss can empathize with him; his mournful tone is an appeal to pathos

  5. A Sample Outline (continued) Mood, setting, motifs of death/dying/ending: late at night in December, repetition of “darkness,” etc. - conjures up feelings of coldness and sense of despair about a lonely existence after the death of a loved one

  6. A Sample Outline (continued) Motifs of dreams and echoes Reliable narrator? Is he so grief-stricken that we cannot trust him to relate events as they really happened? Does it matter? - readers can understand the overwhelming nature of a great loss – how it affects the senses

  7. A Sample Outline (continued) Visual and auditory imagery: capture both depressing and anxious moods of the author - help the reader further identify with the feelings of the speaker and build a sense of suspense

  8. A Sample Outline (continued) The raven as a symbol of death: Its “nevermore” (repeated later) reinforces the permanence of death; the narrator’s questioning reinforces his undying devotion - element of the supernatural adds a spine- tingling effect for the reader
