Monday, October 29: Poe Project October 29, 2007
Please click here to access our Poe Project—I helped create this for a teacher at CRHS, and it will work beautifully for your exploration of Poe. We have two timelining tools you can use as part of this project:
1. Timeliner software (on the programs menu)
2. http://xtimeline.com/
We will review this tonight as a class to help you get started. You can also go to the Story Collection section of the CHS Media Center and look for books with Poe’s short stories. I will point out this section of the library to you tonight.
I will have a project planning sheet for you tonight to help you plan out your work on this project. It is imperative you attend nightly this week! Thank you!
Mrs. Hamilton
