For the Dark Romantics, I teach the writings of Poe.  More specifically, students will study "The Raven" and "The Masque of the Red Death."  For "The Raven," we read the poem in its original context.  I will then show the Simpson's version for a comparison!  The Simpson's version is available on TeacherTube.

Multimedia Object from TeacherTube:
The Simpson's version of Edgar A. Poe's "The Raven"


Currently, my regular students are reading The Slave Narrative of Frederick Douglass.  I have already read the autobiography with my AP students.  Edsitement.org has a great resource for introducing students for rhetoric.  The lesson plan with activities are here.

I also teach Miller's The Crucible.  Georgia Virtual School offers free resources that students and teacher may access when selecting activities.  These lessons can be accessed here.
