It seems like reading Edgar Allan Poe stories around Halloween is a rite of passage for students in English classes. He wrote poems such as "The Raven" and "Annabel Lee" and stories like "The Tell-Tale Heart", "The Black Cat", "The Fall of the House of Usher", "The Cask of Amontillado", "The Masque of the Red Death", "The Pit and the Pendulum", etc.If you have read Poe stories before, which ones have you read and what do you remember of them? Did you like them? How scary/creepy were they? Share your memories of you or teachers reading the works of Edgar Allan Poe.If you have not read Poe or don't remember, describe to me what you expect from a classic horror writer? What kinds of stories do you think we'll be reading? Have you ever read scary stories?

I don't think I've ever read Edgar Allen Poe. I don't really like scary stories. So I wouldn't know what to expect from a horror writer.
I don't know know very much about Edgar Allen Poe. I think his stories are gonna be pretty good.

How do you keep making the lights go on and off?" your pet might wonder.Write about you doing something in your house...from a pet's point of view.

Humans are strange. I think they are magical. They have weird abilities to do weird things. They can open up the wall where there wasn't a hole before. They can light a room in the middle of the night. They can make the big box with wheels move without pushing it. I think it is magic.
