"Annabel Lee" & "Alone" by Poe

Step 1: As you read Annabel Lee today, feel free to look at the copy I've given you or read the online text here.  

Step 2: Watch this video clip for a further analysis on Annabel Lee (consider the symbolic imagery presented in the clip).

Step 3: Complete the work packet I've given you and type your responses on a google doc (shared with me).  Type all sections on the google doc (look up on dictionary.com for the words to define).

Step 4: Next, take a look at the following clip of Poe's poem "Alone".  

Feel free to view the annotated version of "Alone" here if you are confused at all.

Step 5: For your blog post, explain your answer to the following questions in two or more sentences:

1. In what ways do the poems "Alone" and "Annabel Lee" relate to one another?

2. In what ways do the two poems relate to Poe's life? (hint: be sure you read the background knowledge portion on the "Annabel Lee" packet

3. (bonus question/optional) How do these two poems relate to "The Bells"?

It's always best to type responses on a google doc and then copy/paste into the comment thread!
