Quoth The Teacher! Nevermore!
Struggle With the RL. 9-10.4 Standard?. Nevermore.
We are almost completely around the common corner.
That means that teachers will never-more have difficulty finding common core aligned lesson plans and curricula. In this case, if you’re looking for help with the RL. 9-10.4 standard – we’ve got you.
NEA Master Teacher, Chris Arnett, an ELA teacher from Geneva Community High School in Geneva, Illinois, has written a lesson that helps students analyze moods using Edgar Allen Poe’s ‘The Raven’.
This lesson is strongly aligned to the RL.9-10.4 because it focuses on how Poe’s use of figurative language creates mood in the poem. It also is well-aligned to the RL.9-10.5 standard because it focuses on how Poe’s structure creates a sense of mystery and suspense.
