Guiding Question: What do poetry and music have in common?
Edgar Allan Poe's famous poem, “The Raven,” is noted for its lingering rhythms, sonorous rhymes, and Gothic themes. Sounds musical, doesn't it?

This is the best and most engaging "hook" for any unit involving teaching Greek mythology to teenagers that you will ever find. SAMPLE PREVIEW VERSES:
For instance, the story of Cronus is strange:
He murders his father and becomes deranged.
After marrying his sister Rhea for fun,
He eats all his children – all except one.
Zeus escapes swallowing and one day comes home –
Cronus pukes up the five kids, now fully grown –
Then Zeus kills his dad, sealing Cronus’ fate.

Importance of learning English language arts
English language arts (ELA) concepts — reading, writing, listening, and speaking — empower students to become effective communicators, critical thinkers, and lifelong learners. They are the foundation for all other types of learning as students must rely on ELA skills to master content from other subject areas and communicate what they’ve learned.
Strong reading skills can help students make sense of written content, and gather information for further analysis. Writing skills can help students articulate their ideas, construct arguments, and synthesize information. And speaking and listening skills empower students to clearly present their ideas, participate in group discussions, and collaborate with their classmates. This is why teaching English language arts is critically important for student’s success in school and beyond.
