Studying Edgar Allan Poe
It is after Halloween, but I'm sure there are still English classes that are covering the works by Edgar Allan Poe. I've found this livebinder that includes some great links on Edgar Allan Poe's work. There is even some tabs with Flash interactives that carry on the 'eeriness' of his work - beating heart beats, cawing of ravens, shadows - fun stuff! The livebinder also includes wiki information on his life, poetic terms, sites that include his short poems and stories as well as other useful information about poetry in that era.
