Koolteecha's Virtual Classroom

Before we know it, we’ll be taking semester exams!

We have an exciting week this week, as we’ll be taking our big Poe test and working on our first multimedia project – a tribute to Poe.   I celebration of Poe’s 200th birthday, Weekly Reader Magazine is sponsoring a Poe Video Contest.   I’m looking forward to seeing the way that you all work together to produce a fabulous tribute to the gothic GENIUS, Edgar Allan Poe.    Our due date is flexible, depending on how well technology works for us, but I’m initially calling the due date for this project TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 11.  There’s a lot to do:  shoot video, add photos, insert text, add narration, and find the perfect music to accompany your project.  Very exciting!

If at any time you need help with your project, please visit the link below.  It will take you to the entry that I typed up for my students last year:

If you happen to need an extra copy of any of Poe’s works to study for your test, you can find them on the “Virtual Filing Cabinet” link on the right.

Happy November!
