Before reading aloud Poe's classic dramatic poem"The Raven", I provided Lena with notes on the definition of : "poetry, narrator , alliteration, and narrative poetry". We then looked at a picture of "the bust of Pallas" ,or Athena, as that image appears in the poem. After we defined some of the words used in the poem., I asked Lena to draw and to label emojis that represent various moods such as sad, happy, and amused as a prelude to locating the narrator's mood throughout the poem. I then read the poem aloud with Lena timely interjecting the word"NEVERMORE" on behalf of the raven. We studied the first stanzas and located examples of alliteration and Lena then did a very good job identifying the narrator's mood at different places(stanzas)in the poem.
