Analyzing "Anabelle Lee" and annotating "The Raven"

"Anabelle Lee"
Read through one time
*Figure meanings of unknown words, write down questions on the sheet, write all ideas as you discuss them
*Read again
*Is there a rhyme scheme? What is it? Repetition? Figurative language? What poetic devices?
*How can we see influence of Poe’s life in the poem? Is the author the same as the speaker?
*Read a third time
*What are some possible meanings? What happens in it? What parts of the poem make you think what you do about it?

*How do you see Gothic characteristics?

"The Raven"
Three Internal rhymes
Pattern (rhyme scheme) of end rhymes in the stanzas
3 examples of alliteration
Gothic Characteristics
Make sure you know what happens (literally and figuratively) in the poem
