While reading The Raven, several students asked if they could 'act it out'...and someone else wanted to play around with 'what if' possibilities...in other words, alternate endings. This made me realize that we needed to have some creative fun with this poem! I am thus devoting one class to 'creative adaptations'...students can choose an option from the following list...or create their own, subject to teacher approval.
-perform the Raven as a 1 minute play
-write an alternate ending
-write it as a rap or song lyric
-write it from the Raven's point of view
-create a movie poster...who will star in it?
-draw it as a 4 scene comic
And we will share our creations with each other.
BTW here is the Simpson's version of The Raven
