This document outlines a lesson plan for having high school students create digital presentations about Edgar Allan Poe poems. It provides details on the targeted students, objectives, instructional methods, evaluation criteria, and revisions. The presentation goals are for students to choose a Poe poem and create a presentation explaining the plot, characters, interpretation of meaning, language used, and rhyming patterns through images, effects, and outside sources. Teachers will evaluate students based on their use of technology, creativity, analysis of the poem, inclusion of required content, and organization.
