English Class - 8th grade
Mrs. Alma López

Our 8th graders were introduced to the master of mystery and suspense—Edgar Allan Poe. A candlelit room set the mood for students to delve into his famous short story: "The Tell-Tale Heart". The narrator's descent into madness and the use of suspense and unreliable narration were highlighted during this engaging lesson. 

“In reading some books we occupy ourselves chiefly with the thoughts of the author; in pursuing others, exclusively with our own.”
― Edgar Allan Poe
