The Raven Text Set

For my text set, I created a list of texts and multimedia outlets to help discuss my anchor text, The Raven, by Edgar Allan Poe. I imagine using these texts to assist in either a Poe unit or a general unit on Poetry. Most of my text sets will be discussing Poe's background and general information regarding The Raven. I have also selected a few texts that will help explain Figurative Language after we have read and analyzed the poem. The Raven is a very popular classic novel, and I think it's important, but can be very difficult to read. I think having all these texts, videos, and info-graphics, will ultimately help students understand the meaning behind The Raven, and how to accurately analyze and understand the poem. I would plan on using this poem for a 9th or 10th grade English class! The texts are as follows: THE RAVEN by Edgar Allen Poe (anchor text) Link to the Poem:  https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/48860/the-raven Poe, Edgar A. "The Raven." Edg
