CHOICE #1: Complete the “Crime and Punishment” Writing Activity from pg. 181 in your book.  You will need to use evidence from the story to support your argument.  Your speech should be at least TEN sentences long and should include at least THREE pieces of evidence from the story.

CHOICE #2: Make a timeline of Poe’s last days based on the article “Poe’s Final Days” on pp. 184-186 in your book.  Your timeline should have at least TEN events.

CHOICE #3: Pretend the narrator from “The Tell-Tale Heart” has been put on trial for his crime.  Write a transcript for part of the trial.  This can be written in play format and should be at least ONE page.

CHOICE #4: The Evil Eye: Draw a picture of the old man’s Evil Eye from “The Tell-Tale Heart.”  In this picture, you should also include the narrator and a visual representation of his reaction to the eye.


Exit Slip: Most writers tend to put characters in their stories who resemble themselves.  Think back to the narrators of "The Tell-Tale Heart" and "The Cask of Amontillado."  If these narrators are similar to Poe, what can you infer about him?  Explain.
