In poetry, every word matters. Poets like Edgar Allan Poe make conscious choices when composing. Pupils take a close look at his poem "Romance," taking older word meanings into consideration during analysis and discussion. After a class talk about the meaning, individuals write a page about the impact of the meanings of the terms used in the poem. The lesson refers to specific pages in Great Tales and Poems of Edgar Allan Poe; however, these poems could easily be found elsewhere.
