Incorporating Media into 19th Century American Literature

This is a visual animation of "The Fall of the House of Usher" by Poe. After students read the short story aloud, I would show this two part animation to help make the short story more concrete for students. Then we would discuss the difference between their assumptions about the text and the clip. How are the characters different? What part of the plot is left out? Media is paired with instruction to provide students with a multisensory experience.





Remember, I made that MySpace & Def Poetry comment in class. I didn't want to repeat myself on the blog. =]
