Reading aloud to students is one of the most powerful tools teachers have at their disposal. But knowing what to read and having the time to do it make this simple task sometimes harder.

Faux Movie Trailer: The Tell-Tale Heart Trial (lesson hook)
Is the narrator of Edgar Allan Poe's "The Tell-Tale Heart" sane/guilty or insane/not guilty of murder?
