Poe's Horror Stories

Poe is notorious for his "scary" stories and creepy tales. We will spend the rest of this week looking into Poe's creative arts and compare his writing to writing of his time.
Together, we will read:
"The Masque of the Red Death" by Edgar Allan Poe
"The Seven Ages of Man" by William Shakespeare

Be sure to complete the assignments on the Week Assignment Sheet and the Halloween Independent Reading to finish up all the Poe unit work!

If you are still interested in more texts related to Edgar Allan Poe, consider reading:
