Item description

An ideal activity to use before studying Edgar Allan Poe’s poems and stories.

This is an author biography with assessment questions on Edgar Allan Poe. Poe, born in 1809, was a master of mystery and macabre tales. His troubled life fueled his haunting stories, like “The Tell-Tale Heart” and “The Raven.” His life was marred by loss, and he struggled with alcoholism. Poe’s literary legacy endures, inspiring generations with his dark, imaginative tales that continue to captivate readers worldwide. This text was written for Grade 7-12 students and can be used in a number of ways by teachers (close reading, direct instruction in class, independent practice, homework, test prep, assessment, sub work, centers, etc). This “printable/no prep” resource includes:
1) An interesting and educational 1100-word passage titled “A Shadowed Genius: The Life of Edgar Allan Poe.”
2) A set of 31 questions, including vocabulary, sequencing, cause and effect, and comprehension that align with these Common Core Informational Text Standards: RI.4.5 and RI.5.4.
3) A crossword puzzle for early finishers or to use as another form of assessment.
4) Answers to every question.
