📚🔍 Spotlight on Learning in Mrs. Daniken’s ENG I Classes! 🔍📚
This week, our 9th-grade students took on the role of literary detectives in an Edgar Allan Poe Crime Scene Investigation Project! 🕵️♂️🕵️♀️
Through collaboration and critical thinking, students:
📖 Analyzed Poe's chilling texts to uncover key details about the crime.
📝 Completed in-depth character analysis to explore victimology.
🎭 Developed a suspect profile based on evidence from the story.
⏳ Created detailed timelines to piece together the events and solve the mystery!
It’s been amazing to see their creativity and analytical skills shine as they cracked these haunting cases! Great work, ENG I students—Poe himself would be proud! 👏 #LiteraryDetectives #EdgarAllanPoe #9thGradeELA
