Hearken! and observe how well a literary analysis unit can help ninth graders read closely and connect text structure to a central idea. Focusing on Edgar Allan Poe's "The Tell-Tale Heart," learners take notes and track the development of the story's central ideas and the narrator's slow descent into madness.

Instructional Ideas
- Assign the Quick Write as an exit ticket or collaborative discussion topic for literature circles
- Host a Reader's Theater session for multiple members of the class to participate in the reading
Classroom Considerations
- Consider differentiating between motifs and themes
- The lesson describes obsession and madness as central ideas to track
- Discussion questions reference Romeo and Juliet, the core text of Module 1; instruction does not depend on reading the play, but the comparison is helpful
- The third lesson in a 14-part unit
Pros
