DAY ONE - RESEARCH

DAY ONE - RESEARCH

Your job today is to use the links in the post below to gather plenty of information about Edgar Allan Poe by using a multitude of websites dedicated to educating people on him, his life and his work.  In addition to learning about him, we will also be working on our note taking skills and keeping track of the sources that we're using for this information

Topics to Gain Insight On:

You are going to be working with your table groups to gain information on the topics listed below.  It is up to you guys how you choose to break up the topics.

Birth and Family

Childhood

Schooling

Love Life

Literary Work

Accomplishments and Legacies

Enemies

Death and Conspiracy Theories regarding his death

Groups of Three Potential Groupings:
Birth/Family
Childhood
Death/Conspiracy Theories

Schooling
Love life
Death/Conspiracy Theories

Literary Work
Accomplishments and Legacies
Enemies

THINGS TO REMEMBER:

1.)  You must take notes from the website onto your notes paper.  Please click here to print one out for yourself.  If you run out of room on this sheet, print another.

2.)  You must use multiple websites (at least four) to find information.  It is fabulous if you can find the same information on multiple cites.  That means that the information is credible.  It's okay to have the same fact written multiple times on your notes page.

3.)  You're only responsible for finding information for your part!  No hogs or logs, remember?  That being said, you're part of a group.  Don't leave them hanging or overwhelm them with information.  Find the happy medium, my friends.

4.)  Enjoy getting to know Poe!  He was a fascinating man and his work was deeply affected by his life and his experiences.

HOMEWORK:

If you don't finish going through the minimum requirement for websites to find information, you have to do that.
