1 A Look at the Poetry of Edgar Allan Poe
“The Raven” A Look at the Poetry of Edgar Allan Poe

2 Background Originally published in January or 1845
Narrative poem (tells a story) Musical language and supernatural atmosphere Internal rhyme and alliteration Turned Poe into a national celebrity Critically praised by some, admonished by others

3 Prior to Reading Midnight dreary Tapping at my chamber door
Directions: Looking at the following words and phrases, please take an educated guess as to what the poem is about. Midnight dreary Tapping at my chamber door Lost Lenore Silence unbroken Loneliness Shadow Nevermore Sorrow Stately raven Melancholy burden Respite and nepenthe Memories Horrors haunted Clasp a sainted maiden

4 Reading Process Before you begin, please draw a line under the second, fourth, and sixth stanzas on each page. Pause at each line, and talk to the text (as well as each other). At each line, trade off reading with your partner. Take excellent notes in the margins… Remember: you’ll be writing an argumentative paragraph about the poem tomorrow!

5 Talking to the Text How to talk to a text:
Circle any words you do not understand or are not sure of. *For the words you may know, but want to check later, write your own definition for the word above it or to the side.  Write down as many notes as necessary in the margins that help you compare, question, summarize, clarify and predict.

6 Talking to the Text COMPARING – Compare to myself, an outside source, the world. I can picture this… This is like… This reminds me of… QUESTION – What don’t I understand? What doesn’t make sense? A question I have about this is… I’m confused about/don’t understand… SUMMARIZE – Briefly put chunks of text in my own words. So, the big idea here is… In other words… CLARIFY – Clear this up; explain it. I think this means… I wonder… I believe… I’ll reread this…

7 Episodic Notes Now that you and your partner have finished reading the poem for a third time… Please fold your paper into six squares. Imagine that you have been chosen to create an illustrated version of “The Raven. Choose the six most dominant images of the poem that would summarize the plotline. Draw each image using one square each. Make it lovely by coloring it, as well. We will present near the end of the period.
