Type: Lesson/Unit Plan

Overview:

In this five-lesson unit, students participate in a Directed Listening-Thinking Activity (DLTA), in which they listen to "The Tell-Tale Heart" by Edgar Allan Poe and answer prediction questions at designated stopping points during the reading. Students then discuss and write a written response to the story at the conclusion of the lesson, in the form of either an acrostic poem or a comic strip. This lesson works well at Halloween or at the beginning of a mystery unit.
