Edgar Allen Poe was born in Boston on January 19, 1809. His Mother died on December 8 and his father died a few days later so he was adopted. He started school in 1814. Poe went
to boarding school in 1816. On February 14, 1826 he entered the University of Virginia in Charlottesville. In 1835 Poe applied for a job as a teacher, but didn’t get the job. On
May 16, 1836 Poe married his cousin Virginia. Poe died on October 7, 1849. No one really knows how he died, but people have a lot of theories about how he died.

009 The Black Cat
This story is one of Poe’s most gruesome takes. It may not be suitable for younger ages. This man is being overtaken by the
drink, with a few murders on the side. Walls, axes, it just might be the best horror story yet.
The BellsIn this poem Poe
manages to classify different type of bells and their different emotions. Some think that the bells are comparison to life:
newborns, merry life, sad life. He makes you hear bells and personifies them. Did you know it wasn’t published till after his death in 1849.
The Raven‘Nevermore?
This is the only word that the raven knows. Did he come from the gates of Hell? Or did he come to cheer him up after losing his dear Lenore?
Many think that The Raven was influenced by
Charles Dickens novel, Baraby Rudge. It also might have been from the two poems, “To Allegra Florence” and “ Isadore”, by Thomas Holly Chivers.

CLASSWORKS
Classworks is a new resouce to GCMS this year. Currently, some students in 6th and 7th grades are using it. Teachers use it to reinforce certain skills with their class as a whole, or they
can assign individual units as a review. For some students, Individualized Learning Paths are created for them based on
test scores from ClassScape. It is animated and fun for students to do, it is on their individual level and focuses on the speific
skills they need the most help with.
