  1. Paraphrasing “The Raven” We will listen to “The Raven” by Edgar Allan Poe one time all the way through. Follow along with the recording on your copy of the text. 2. Highlight the ONLY dialogue in the text. Discuss with partner: Who do you think the narrator is talking to?

  2. Analyzing “The Raven” • Highlight all the dialogue in the poem. (Dialogue is surrounded by quotation marks.) • Circle any unknown words, then look up the definitions and write them in the space next to each stanza. • Underline any words or phrases that stand out. (hint: look for the four elements of style: Imagery, Irony, Figures of Speech, and Dialect)

Does Poe’s Art (writing) Immatate His Life? • I’ll use the information I learned (guided notes) about Edgar Allan Poe’s life AND both of his texts (“The Tell Tale Heart” and “The Raven”) to prove that his work imitates his life. • I’ll cite evidence from all three sources to strengthen my argument. • Show me the evidence! • For instance… The Author stated… • For example… According to the text… • On Page, it said… Based on what I’ve read… • From the reading, I know that…
