Fireside Reading of Edgar Allen Poe




"Fireside" Reading of Edgar Allen Poe



Using a little technological ingenuity, Ms. Restivo’s 9th grade honors class was treated to a “fireside” reading of Edgar Allen Poe’s “The Cask of Amontillado.”   Via the classroom's Smartboard, students experienced the crackle of the fire and the glowing embers of the flames: a perfect setting for reading Poe and learning about the Dark Romanticism and Gothic genres.  Featured in the picture is freshman Sam Bernstein, who tried his hand at doing a dramatic reading of the story  - with a little coaching from Ms. Restivo.
