"The Fall of the House of Usher" Scavenger Hunt
My students were really struggling with both the plot and the vocabulary of Poe's short story "The Fall of the House of Usher," so I created this scavenger hunt so that they could note key parts in the plot and character development and get simple definitions to some of the tough vocabulary words as well.
This is a great ready made lesson plan that you can use as a whole group, small group, or independently. It would also be great to use as an emergency lesson plan.
