What educators are saying

My students absolutely LOVED this investigation. They started formulating their own theories, and this really took on a life of its own! I highly suggest this as an add to any Poe unit.

Rated 5 out of 5

My students loved researching the different theories in which it is believed Poe died. I turned this into a gallery walk where students were able to read each other's theory, evidence, and determine if they agreed with that theory or not. They loved getting to know Poe in this way.
