Author Focus: Edgar Allan PoeUnit Information:The second quarter's thematic unit actually consists of two parts--the literature study and the writing test review. The "Real or Imagined?" literary study will begin in October and focus on the concepts of mood and tone. Traditionally, this is the "scary stories" unit where we examine how mood and tone affect the reader's perception of a literary work. We will focus on Edgar Allan Poe as a fictional author and also--in our nonfiction study--examine strange occurrences at Poe's grave site as well as look at the origins of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein.
